Abstract :
The application of nanoparticles in cancer therapy is an emerging and promising approach aimed at enhancing the efficacy and selectivity of therapeutic interventions. This strategy seeks to improve treatment outcomes by increasing the potency of drugs while minimizing toxicity to healthy cells. Nanoparticles are categorized into three main types: organic nanoparticles (such as liposomes and polymer-based particles), inorganic nanoparticles (including gold and silica nanoparticles), and hybrid nanoparticles (like lipid–polymer hybrids). These nanomaterials, typically ranging in size from 1 to 100 nanometers, represent a diverse class of materials with unique physicochemical properties. Various methods such as magnetic, electrical, optical, and mechanical techniques can be employed to synthesize nanoparticles for biomedical applications.
