Use of Nanotechnology in Surgical Care Of cancer: A Narrative Review
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Introduction: The nanotechnology is rapidly progressing field in cancer diagnosis. Cancer treatment depends on the good diagnostic tool. Thus, nanotechnology can be used in several diagnostic procedures include organ imaging, cellular imaging and cancer microenvironment. Objective: This review aimed to explore the medical literature that studied use of nanotechnology in surgical oncology. Conclusions: Surgery is currently the main therapeutic modality in treating human cancers, and the leading predictor of survival rate is a complete surgical excision. The promising applications of nanotechnology in diagnosis and surgical treatment of cancer include tumor demarcation, imaging of lymph nodes, and recognition of residual cancerous cells. A main obstacle is to develop nanoparticle that targeted tumor cells without adjunct harmful effect on healthy tissues. Regarding clinical use, the long-term safety of nanoparticles need further researches.
