ABSTRACT
Cancer remains the most significant cause of death worldwide, and this shows how pathetic the situation is in terms of putting better intervention systems in place. With such an analysis, we can be able to discoto bind ver the transformative capability of nanotechnology and its application in the process of treating cancer. Imbued with all the peculiarities of nanomaterials, nanomedicine offers new approaches to individual care, imaging, drug delivery, and diagnostics. Pharmaceutical delivery of drugs using nanoparticle materials- metallic nanoparticles, dendrimers and liposomes- increases the bioavailability of drugs to greater extents and reduces the systemic toxicity as well as the issue of multidrug resistance to very great extents. Furthermore, nanotechnology offers imaging with great accuracy, early disease detection and enhanced clinics. The primary treatment methods, including photothermal therapy, magnetic hyperthermia, or RNA-based treatments, are mentioned, with a description of their concept and implementation provided. Challenges such as toxicity, regulation and manufacturing standardization also challenge it. The review points out the fact that nanomedicine holds promise when it comes to revolutionising the handling of cancer and adds that additional studies ought to be carried out to ensure the full potential of the technology is realised in clinical practice.
