Abstract

Nanotechnology has emerged as a transformative approach in cancer diagnosis and therapy, offering precise drug delivery, early detection, and multimodal treatment strategies. The integration of nanoscale materials with molecular oncology enables the development of targeted and stimuli-responsive systems capable of overcoming biological barriers and minimizing systemic toxicity. This review highlights recent advancements in the field of cancer nanomedicine, focusing on passive and active targeting, nanotheranostics, and nano-immunotherapy. The discussion encompasses liposomal, polymeric, and metal-based nanoparticles designed for both therapeutic and diagnostic purposes. Furthermore, the paper outlines translational challenges such as bio-distribution variability, regulatory constraints, and clinical safety. Overall, nanotechnology continues to bridge the gap between experimental oncology and personalized medicine, representing a pivotal direction in future cancer management and drug design.
