This property is harnessed for photothermal therapy, where these particles are targeted to cancer cells and then heated with laser light, causing localized cell damage and cell death. [3] Lung cancer Photodynamic therapy: Nanoparticles can be used as carriers for photosensitizing agents. When exposed to light of a specific wavelength, these ...
Radiofrequency therapy treatment involves the destruction of tumor cancer tissue cells through the differential heating of cancer tissue by radio-frequency diathermy. [12] This differential heating is a result of the blood supply in the body carrying away the heat and cooling the heated tissue.
Nanotechnology has also helped to personalize oncology for the detection, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer. It is now able to be tailored to each individual's tumor for better performance. They have found ways that they will be able to target a specific part of the body that is being affected by cancer.
The International Institute for Nanotechnology (IIN) was established by Northwestern University in 2000. [1] It was the first institute of its kind in the United States and is one of the premier nanoscience research centers in the world. [ 2 ]
Nanotubes can help with cancer treatment. They have been shown to be effective tumor killers in those with kidney or breast cancer. [4] [5] Multi-walled nanotubes are injected into a tumor and treated with a special type of laser that generates near-infrared radiation for around half a minute. These nanotubes vibrate in response to the laser ...
Electrophoretic deposition (EPD), is a term for a broad range of industrial processes which includes electrocoating, cathodic electrodeposition, anodic electrodeposition, and electrophoretic coating, or electrophoretic painting.
Multidrug resistance in cancer cells is thought to be the primary reason for the poor efficacy of cancer chemotherapy. Drug resistance is due to expression of the gene MDR-1. These gene codes for membrane-bound proteins called ABC transporters.
