Metallic Nanoparticles in Cancer Therapy : Synthesis, Applications, and Regulatory Considerations

Metallic Nanoparticles in Cancer Therapy explores the innovative use of metallic nanoparticles in cancer therapy. It investigates the production, functionalization, and medicinal uses of metallic nanoparticles, including iron oxide, gold, and silver, emphasizing their potential for targeted drug administration, imaging, and therapy. It also tackles essential regulatory and safety considerations, connecting research with clinical application.

Features:

• Covers specifics to the theranostic application of metallic nanoparticles for cancer treatment
• Describes therapeutic strategies of nanoparticles in drug administration routes and targeting mechanisms
• Gives insight into phytochemical and biogenic surface-modified metal nanoparticles
• Discusses bioavailability and toxicity assessment of metallic nanoparticles

This book is aimed at researchers in metallic nanoparticle and physicians and regulatory professionals in nanotechnology for precision oncology.
