This comprehensive book delves into the profound impact of biomedical engineering (BME) in the realm of diagnosis and treatment, particularly in combating cancer. Through the use of advanced body scanners and radiation therapy, BME plays a pivotal role in identifying and addressing various diseases. In recent years, remarkable progress has been made in expanding biomedical microdevices, which have assumed a critical role in cancer diagnosis and therapy.

When it comes to fighting cancer, both efficacy and speed are of paramount importance. A groundbreaking microfluidic chip has recently emerged, enabling researchers to test the effectiveness of specialized cancer drugs with unprecedented precision. This breakthrough has the potential to revolutionize the field of cancer treatment by providing valuable insights into drug efficacy.

To achieve effective cancer-targeting therapies, a combination of passive and active targeting strategies is necessary, along with a deep understanding of the physiological barriers that hinder targeted drug delivery. The development of targeted cancer treatments and the implementation of new combinatorial approaches hold great promise for improving targeted anticancer drug delivery and ultimately enhancing treatment outcomes.

This book serves as a valuable resource for students, researchers, and professionals in the fields of BME and medicine. It explores the advancements and innovations in BME that have contributed to improving the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. Specifically, it focuses on bioengineering approaches to enhance targeted delivery for cancer therapeutics, encompassing particles, targeting moieties, and stimuli-responsive drug release mechanisms. By unraveling these complex mechanisms, the book provides insights into the latest developments in the field and offers practical applications for the development of more effective cancer treatments.
