The book presents introductory information about the biology of different types of cancer in order to provide the reader with knowledge on their specificities. In addition, it discusses various novel drug delivery systems, detailing their functionalities, expected outcomes and future developments in the field, focusing on brain, mouth and throat, breast, lung, liver, pancreas, stomach, colon, bool, skin and prostate cancers. The book is a valuable source for cancer researchers, oncologists, pharmacologists and nanotechnologists who are interested in novel drug delivery systems and devices for treatment of various types of cancer that take advantage of recent advances in this exciting field. Review "This book presents the advances made in cancer diagnosis and treatment using nano drug delivery systems. The subject matter is a complex one as it integrates cancer biology and rapidly growing nanotechnology in cancer diagnosis and treatment. There are many texts in the marketplace related to the topic, but this one is unique because it presents the use of nanomedicine in organ-based cancer diagnosis and treatment. Nevertheless, it has room for improvement. Though the authors of this book tried to be succinct, further discussions on relevant topics would be appropriate." --Doody Review A single source encompassing the biology of different types of cancers and their respective treatment through nano drug delivery systems From the Back Cover Nano Drug Delivery Strategies for the Treatment of Cancers discusses several current and promising approaches for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer by using the most recent developments in nanomedical technologies.
