✦ Synopsis

ABSTRACT

Nanotechnology covers a wide variety of fields of research, including chemistry, physics, biology and medicine, with extensive applications in cancer, ranging from accurate, early detection of malignant lesions to minimizing metastasis. Continued development of cancer‐targeted therapy has promising advantages: maximizing the effectiveness of anticancer drugs while decreasing the harmful systemic effects; tumor destruction via heating that takes advantage of magnetic nanoparticles' size, magnetization and biocompatibility; novel drug‐delivery systems; and gene therapy functions to facilitate controlled drug loading and release inside the cytoplasm. These and other nanotechnology applications can contribute essential new knowledge in the fight against cancer. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
