Abstract

Anji Jiang

Cancer is a complex and devastating disease that continues to be a global health challenge. Despite significant advancements in cancer research and treatment modalities, traditional therapies often suffer from limited efficacy and severe side effects. Nanomedicine has emerged as a promising approach to revolutionize cancer treatment by utilizing nanoscale materials to deliver therapeutic agents with high precision and efficacy. This article explores the current state of cancer nanomedicine, novel methods employed in the field, and the medical opportunities it presents for improving cancer management. Cancer remains one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide. Conventional cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgery, have shown some success but are often associated with severe side effects due to their non-selective nature.
