Nanomedicine to treat cancer

Mobarak Ali, Gopibagh, Dhaka
A recent article of this daily told us about nanomedicene and its use in cancer treatment. But the article was too small to give us a clear idea. However, the developed countries are focusing on nanomedicine to find a cure for cancer. We have also heard about multifunctional nanomedicine. Scientists say this could be used for multiple purposes including cancer cell targeting, early cancer diagnosis and its treatment. The conventional anti-cancer agents and chemotherapy have many negative aspects such as higher toxicity, higher expense, and non-specificity. Hope nanomedicine will provide better treatment to cancer patients all over the world.
