What is Metallic Nanoparticles in Drug Delivery and Cancer Treatment about?

The targeted delivery of therapeutic agents to tumor cells faces a barrier because most chemotherapeutic agents are distributed throughout the body contributing to general toxicity and low tolerance by patients, and the therapy is then withdrawn. Metallic nanoparticles have been used for a wide range of applications in different medical areas. In the treatment of cancer, metallic nanoparticles appear as new carrier and contrast agents. Through active and passive targeting these metallic nanoparticles were used for tumor-cell imaging. Such nanoparticles have recently opened the way for site-specific targeting and drug delivery. In this chapter provide information about tumor cell growth, the benefits of modern over traditional cancer treatment methods, targeted delivery of anticancer agents utilizing nanoparticles, effects on performance and life expectancy of nanotechnologies and problems, as well as the results and future prospects for metallic nanoparticles as trials for cancer treatment. The development of metal nanoparticles is rapid and multidirectional, and the enhanced functional ability of metallic nanoparticles underlines its importance as a means to support alternative mo
