Abstract :

Rapid development of biomedical nanotechnology holds great promise to modify and improve various diagnostic and therapeutic strategies against cancer. Nanomedicine products make it possible to achieve highly specific tumor targeting and provide multi-functionality both, in terms of their loading with different drugs and diagnostic markers and in terms of their responsiveness to local tumor-specific stimuli. They can significantly improve properties and efficacy of various conventional therapeutics and bring to life a new generation of anti-cancer agents.
