What Are the Advantages of Using Nanotechnology in Immunotherapy?
Nanotechnology offers several advantages in cancer immunotherapy:
Targeted Delivery: Nanoparticles can be engineered to specifically target cancer cells, sparing healthy cells and reducing side effects. Enhanced Permeability and Retention (EPR) Effect: Due to their small size, nanoparticles can accumulate more in tumor tissues than in normal tissues. Multifunctionality: Nanoparticles can be designed to carry multiple types of therapeutic agents, such as drugs and immunomodulators, simultaneously. Real-Time Monitoring: Certain nanoparticles can also serve as imaging agents, allowing for the real-time monitoring of treatment efficacy.
