Abstract

Nanotechnology is rapidly developing subdivision of technology that affect on many fields. Medicines are also affected from nanotechnology. Since, in cancer treatment nanotechnologically modified method can be used. One of the developing usage fields of nanotechnology is cancer treatment. Nanotechnology can assist to have better diagnosis with less harmful substance as optical nanoparticles, to provide efficient drug delivery tumor cell with liposomes and functionalized micelles. Nanotechnology can be also used in molecular imaging with tomography and radiotherapy. Finally, nanotechnology is still developing science can be defined as next generation techniques for cancer disease; at the same time it comes with many advantages to treat cancer patients. Nanomedicine, the application of nanotechnology to medicine, enabled the development of nanoparticle therapeutic carriers. These drug carriers are passively targeted to tumors through the enhanced permeability and retention effect, so they are ideally suited for the delivery of chemotherapeutics in cancer treatment. Indeed, advances in nanomedicine have rapidly translated into clinical practice.
