Abstract

Nanotechnology has revolutionized the field of oncology by enabling precise diagnosis, targeted drug delivery, and improved therapeutic efficacy with minimal side effects. The integration of nanomaterials such as liposomes, dendrimers, quantum dots, metallic nanoparticles, and polymeric nanocarriers has opened new avenues in cancer diagnosis and treatment. This review summarizes the recent progress in nanotechnology-based cancer research, focusing on the design, synthesis, and biomedical applications of nanomaterials. Emphasis is given to nanocarrier-mediated drug delivery, nano-based imaging systems, biosensing technologies, and theranostic platforms. Additionally, the review discusses current limitations, toxicity concerns, and regulatory challenges that must be addressed for clinical translation. Overall, nanotechnology continues to offer transformative solutions for cancer detection, therapy, and personalized medicine.

Keywords
