Abstract
Nanomaterials contribution in biomedical applications is the most appreciable research in recent years. Prominent biological characteristics and their applications are the main reason for these research developments. Many medical researches, especially anticancer drug delivery system, drug formulation, diagnosis devices are mainly focusing the nanomaterials. Cancer is the one of the deadliest diseases in the world. Biomaterials are the basic remedies for the cancer therapy, but advanced biomaterials in the nano-form made significant progress than normal biomaterials. In past few years, many organic and inorganic nanomaterials have developed for the cancer diagnostics and therapeutics. These nanomaterials are considered to be good carriers for drug molecules. In this chapter, we first provide a brief description about the production of the various nanomaterials like gold, platinum, silver, titanium oxide, iron oxide silica, polymeric nanoparticles. And also, we discussed the key properties of nanomaterials, such as size, surface properties, and cancer targeting. The major objective of this discussion is to give the better understanding about the role of nanomaterials in the cancer therapy. Nanomaterials in the cancer therapy have emphasis role in drug delivery process with various drug materials. Cancer cells imaging with the nanomaterials is another emerging field in cancer therapy. Various types of diagnostic techniques are also discussed in this chapter.
