Recent Therapy to Treat Various Types of Cancer: An Overview

The document discusses the use of nanoparticles in cancer treatment, highlighting their advantages over conventional chemotherapy. Traditional chemotherapy has several pharmacological drawbacks, including drug resistance, drug-drug interactions, water solubility, and stability issues. It also causes non-specific toxicity to healthy cells, leading to side effects like appetite loss, hair loss, peripheral neuropathy, vomiting, muscle fatigue, and diarrhea. Nanoparticles, on the other hand, have revolutionized cancer treatment due to their significant benefits. The document mentions various nanocarriers used in drug delivery systems, including gold nanoparticles, high-density lipoprotein nanostructures, polymer nanoparticles, dendrimers, quantum dots, and nanodiamonds.
