What Are Some Examples of Nanotechnology-Based Cancer Therapies?
One prominent example is the use of gold nanoparticles in photothermal therapy. These nanoparticles can be directed to accumulate in tumor tissues, where they absorb light and convert it to heat, effectively destroying cancer cells. Another example is the development of magnetic nanoparticles for hyperthermia treatment, where an alternating magnetic field induces heat in the nanoparticles, killing cancer cells. Moreover, nanocarriers like liposomes and micelles are being used to deliver chemotherapy drugs more effectively.
