Cancer nanomedicine offers several advantages over traditional therapies:
Enhanced Permeability and Retention (EPR) Effect: Nanoparticles can accumulate in tumor tissue due to its leaky vasculature. Targeted Delivery: Functionalized nanoparticles can specifically target cancer cells, reducing damage to healthy tissues. Multifunctionality: Nanoparticles can be designed to perform multiple roles, such as drug delivery, imaging, and monitoring. Controlled Release: Nanoparticles can be engineered to release therapeutic agents in a controlled manner, improving drug efficacy.
