ABSTRACT
Nanotechnology has revolutionized fundamental opportunities for higher specific drug delivery with minimum side effects. Since its inception, the goal of nanotechnology has been to advance effective and reliable systems for precise anti-cancer therapy and diagnosis. Conventional chemotherapeutics possess some serious side effects including damage of the immune system and other organs with rapidly proliferating cells due to nonspecific targeting, lack of solubility, and inability to enter the core of the tumors resulting in impaired treatment with reduced dose and with low survival rate. There are some risk factor also consider which may leads to cancer. The conventional treatments are surgery, Radio-therapy and chemo therapy but the real fact is none of the above mentioned treatment is enough for procurement of cancer and that‘s why now scientist and researchers are thinking about nano-technology. Nano technology has provided the opportunity to get direct access of the cancerous cells selectively with increased drug localization and cellular uptake. Nano particles can be programmed for recognizing the cancerous cells and giving selective and accurate drug delivery avoiding interaction with the healthy cells.
