Nanomedicine in Era of Cancer Therapy

The field of cancer therapy is evolving in recent years and researchers have focused on new therapeutic modalities for this malignant disease due to several reasons. The first reason is high mortality and morbidity of cancer around the world that in spite of development of different treatment strategies such as surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and immunotherapy, prognosis and overall survival of cancer patients are poor Therefore, it is highly recommended to design novel strategies for treatment of cancer.

Nanomedicine in era of cancer therapy demonstrates how obstacles for cancer therapy can be solved using nanomedicine and how it can help in improving prognosis and life quality of cancer patients. Nanomedicine in era of cancer therapy has an emphasis on the capacity of nanocarriers for the delivery of drugs, genes and co-delivery.

Nanomedicine in era of cancer therapy provides new chapters related to specific delivery of each genetic tool such as siRNA, shRNA and CRISPR. By adding a section related to phototherapy, the knowledge of the audience will be approved towards photodynamic therapy and hyperthermia as new methods for cancer therapy and how they can be combined with other treatment strategies such as chemotherapy for synergistic suppression of cancer cells. The combination of all these cancer therapies will be advantage to a variety of researchers such as those working in field of cancer therapy, challenges for cancer treatment, gene therapy, drug delivery, phototherapy and clinical application of nanomaterials.
