NANOTECHNOLOGY FOR CRITICAL ENDEAVOR IN CANCER

NANOTECHNOLOGY FOR CRITICAL ENDEAVOR IN CANCER Nanotechnology provides the sized materials that can be synthesized and function in the same general size range and Biological structures. Attempts are made to develop forms of anticancer therapeutics based on nanomaterials. Dentritic polymer nanodevices serves as a means for the detection of cancer signatures, and the targeted delivery of anti - cancer therapeutics ( cis-platin , methotrexate, and taxol) and contrast agents to tumor cells. Initial studies documednted the synthesis and function of a targeting module, several drug delivery componets, and two imaging/contrast agents.
