What is Nanotechnology for Cancer Therapy about?

Understanding cancer and its treatment poses big challenges in the medical science due to the prevalence of intra-and intertumor heterogeneity as evidenced from spatial and temporal heterogeneity of tumor genetic architecture, morphological variations, and complex molecular, cellular, and hormonal profile . These alterations and heterogeneity often result in the failure of chemotherapy and radiation therapy, in providing clinically convincing evidence of improvement in patients. Although our knowledge on the etiology of cancer has increased phenomenally over the past quarter century, developments in fundamental cancer biology have not translated into tangible advances in cancer therapy . The challenges faced by current systemic cancer therapies include nonspecific biodistribution of antitumor agents upon intravenous (IV) administration, only a small fraction of drug reaching the tumor site, cytotoxicity to healthy tissues, limited ability to monitor therapeutic responses and development of multiple drug resistance (MDR). Moreover, current diagnostic and prognostic classification provides little help in the monitoring of treatment responses . Therefore, there is a need to develop no
