Early Detection One of the most significant advantages of nanotechnology in cancer diagnosis is its ability to detect cancer at an early stage. Nanoparticles can be engineered to bind to specific cancer biomarkers, making them useful for early detection through imaging techniques such as MRI and CT scans.
Improved Imaging Nanoparticles, such as quantum dots and gold nanoparticles, enhance the contrast in imaging studies, allowing for more precise identification of cancerous tissues. These particles can be functionalized to target specific cancer cells, providing a clearer and more accurate image.
