Nanomaterials have revolutionized cancer therapy and diagnostics, offering a wide range of intrinsic molecular properties. To overcome limitations in drug delivery systems, researchers have synthesized nanoparticles from biological materials for targeted cancer therapy. This book provides concise evaluations of potential bio-inspired platforms that mimic natural components of the body and offer effective and versatile drug delivery systems. It also assesses the potential of nanoparticles to enhance cancer immunotherapy by activating immune cells and modulating the tumor microenvironment. The book summarizes applications of nanomaterials in detecting, preventing, and treating solid tumors, as well as leukemia and lymphomas. It discusses ethical issues in nanomedicine, including risk assessment, risk management, and risk communication during clinical trials. This comprehensive resource is valuable for students, academics, researchers, scientists, clinicians, and healthcare professionals working in nanotechnology and cancer research.
