What are Nanoparticles and Their Roles in Cancer Therapy?
Nanoparticles have shown significant potential in cancer therapy due to their ability to target cancer cells specifically while sparing healthy tissue. Techniques like photothermal therapy and magnetic hyperthermia use nanoparticles to convert energy into heat to destroy cancer cells. Additionally, nanoparticles can be designed to carry multiple therapeutic agents, enhancing the effectiveness of cancer treatment.
