Nanoparticle Drug Delivery Systems for Cancer Treatment

<p>In recent years nanoparticles—bionanomaterials with specific physicochemical properties—have gained a great deal of scientific interest owing to their unique structure. Nanoparticle-based drugs are now widely regarded as a safer more precise and more effective mode of cancer therapy considering their ability to enhance drug bioavailability improve site-specific drug delivery and protect nontarget tissues from toxic therapeutic drugs.</p><p>This book compiles and details cutting-edge research in nanomedicine from an interdisciplinary team of international cancer researchers who are currently revolutionizing drug delivery techniques through the development of nanomedicines and nanotheranostics. Edited by Hala Gali-Muhtasib and Racha Chouaib two prominent cancer researchers this book will appeal to anyone involved in nanotechnology cancer therapy or drug delivery research.</p>
