Nuclear Nanomedicine: Using Nanoparticles for Enhanced Cancer Treatment Download PDF
Basim A. Almayahi

Abstract:
This paper explores the use of nanoparticles in nuclear nanomedicine for the treatment of cancer. Nanoparticles have unique properties that make them attractive for use in cancer therapy, such as their ability to accumulate selectively in tumors and their ability to deliver therapeutic payloads directly to cancer cells. In nuclear nanomedicine, nanoparticles are labeled with radioactive isotopes, allowing for targeted delivery of radiation to cancer cells. This approach offers several advantages over traditional radiation therapy, including higher doses to the tumor with less damage to surrounding healthy tissue. Overall, the use of nanoparticles in nuclear nanomedicine holds great promise for improving cancer treatment outcomes.
