Current Advances in Nanotechnology: Prospects and Challenges of Nanotherapeutics in Treating Cancers

Cancer is a major health issue globally, with an estimated 20 million new cases and 9.7 million deaths in 2022. By 2050, projections indicate a significant increase to over 35 million new cases. Discovering novel medicines is an urgent need. Nanomedicine has emerged as a new multidisciplinary field capturing the attention of scientists. Nanotherapeutics have capabilities for effectively transporting medicines or gene fragments to tumor tissues via passive or active targeting processes; thus there are immense possibilities for enhancing treatment outcomes while causing minimum harm to healthy tissues.
