Abstract:
Current cancer treatments include surgical intervention, radiation, and chemotherapy medications. Nanoparticles have a variety of advantages as medication delivery systems. Nanoparticles (NPs) are newly discovered methods for delivering medicines to tumour cells with little drug leakage into healthy cells. To enhance biodistribution and increase circulation duration in the bloodstream, nanoparticles have been developed with optimum size and surface properties. Here, I look at the many types and features of nanoparticles. Examples of commercially available nanocarrier-based medicines include: Therapeutic nanoparticles, the function of metal nanoparticles in cancer diagnosis and therapy, are important ideas in nanoparticle medication delivery for cancer.
