Why is it important?
Deliver of chemotherpeutic drugs to the cancerous cells is only effective by 0.1 to 0.01%. Another disadvantage is toxicity to the healthy cells. Nanoparticles can overcome the traditional daignostic and therapeutic methods as they possess unique and excellent physical properties.
Perspectives
Nanomedicine is a broad, extremely interdisciplinary, still budding field, and its significance is witnessed by the fact that most countries invest a significant and increasing budget in nanomedicine.
