Abstract
The nanotechnology is the study and the use of arrangements between 1 nanometer and 100 nanometers. This technique is advanced and reformed technology for the present generation and more in use at various factors. Nanotechnology focuses on the coalescence and convergence of numerous scientific disciplines and other usual application of it. The present paper deals with the study of role of the nanotechnology in the cancer treatment where it is important to deliver the information regarding cancer and its occurrence in the body. The paper highlight on the Nano-particles that are rapidly developed and helpful in overcoming with various limitations of traditional drug delivery system and are helpful in dealing with different therapeutics for the treatment of cancer. This entire paper review on the ability of cell recognizing of Nano-particles by unique identifying characteristics and their changes from the anticancer therapies. The use of the recent development of the nanotechnology shows the transformation of the cancer therapeutics. Keywords: Nanotechnology, Convergence, Drug delivery System, Cancer therapeutics
Introduction
In today’s time, cancer is considered as one of the most serious fatal disease with the outcome of killing of millions of people every year. Cancer is known to be the unrestricted multiplying of cells where the apoptosis is usually vanished and contain very intricate treatment procedure. The complexity reveals the phenotypic and genetic levels which shows the therapeutic resistance and clinical diversity. The cancer treatment includes the surgical removal, chemotherapy, radiation and hormone therapy. The chemotherapy is one of the common treatment for a cancer patient which delivers the anticancer drugs systematically, in order to quench the unrestricted multiplying of the cancer-causing cells. The significant role of cancer therapeutics depends on main challenge so as to distinguish the cancer-causing cells and the normal body cells. It depend upon the conventional chemotherapy fails to target the cells of cancer selectively without it being interacted with the normal body cells. Nanotechnology is defined as the science which deals with an array of size from a few nanometers to hundred nanometer which is dependent on their intended use.
It is really promising in the case of cancer diagnosis and cancer treatment so as to enter the tissue at molecular level. The term cancer nanotechnology deals with the enthusiastically implemented and estimated treatment cancer which shows the major advance in the detection, treatment, and diagnosis of the related diseases. Nanoparticles are basically designed so as to assist the therapeutic agent to go through the biological barriers to mediate the molecular interactions and other relevant molecular changes (Sutradhar and Amin, 2014)
