Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanotechnology is playing a vital role in improving current cancer therapeutics. The highly tunable physical and optical properties and the ability to bind an ever-expanding library of ligands have catapulted nanoparticles into current cancer research. As nanoparticles inch closer to being fully deployed at the clinical level, some of the recent advances in the applications of nanoparticles in cancer nanomedicine will be discussed in this Special Issue. From imaging and diagnostics to therapy and treatment, a variety of nanoparticles are presented along with their physical and optical properties to be used in a diverse array of medical applications. This Special Issue aims to offer a more widespread view on visualization, diagnosis and treatment of disease with various types of nanoparticles.
