How is Nanotechnology Revolutionizing Cancer Treatment?
Nanotechnology is playing a pivotal role in cancer treatment by enabling targeted drug delivery, thereby increasing the efficacy and reducing the side effects of chemotherapy. Additionally, nanoparticles can be used to deliver genes or proteins directly to cancer cells, offering new avenues for gene therapy and immunotherapy. Gold nanoparticles, for example, can be used in photothermal therapy, where they absorb light and convert it to heat, killing cancer cells.
