About this book

This Brief focuses on the cancer therapy available till date, from conventional drug delivery to nanomedicine in clinical trial. In addition, it reports on future generation based nanotherapeutics and cancer theranostic agent for effective therapeutic diagnosis and treatment. Breast cancer was chosen as the model system in this review. The authors give emphasis to multiple drug resistance (MDR) and its mechanism and how to overcome it using the nanoparticle approach.

Nanomedicine for Cancer Therapy

Abstract

In the present book, we have focused on the cancer therapy available till date from conventional drug delivery to nanomedicine in the clinical trial. Also, the book also focused on future generation based nanotherapeutics and cancer theranostic agent for effective therapeutic diagnosis and treatment. Cancer therapy itself is the vibrant topic, to make the topic simple and easy to understand, we have chosen breast cancer as our model system. In this book, the emphasis was on multiple drug resistance (MDR) and its mechanism, how to overcome it using nanoparticle approach.
