About this ebook

While there have been a large number of ongoing research projects and publications on the treatment of cancer, there is a limited number of books related to nanotechnology with emphasis on polymeric nanoparticles in cancer therapy. The book, covering all of the recent research work done on this basis, enlightens researchers and students with the benefits of polymeric nanomaterials in cancer. This book provides exhaustive knowledge on polymeric nanoparticles and cancer. - Provides a complete overview of the application of different polymeric nanoparticles in cancer therapeutics: from characterization of nanoparticles to in vitro and in vivo studies. - Contains a detailed description of the delivery of therapeutic molecules with different polymers realized with nanomedicine in cancer therapeutics. - Discusses newly developed promising polymers in cancer. - Describes polymeric nanoparticle and their role in theranostics pertaining to cancer. - Reviews clinical relevance of different polymeric formulations in the field of cancer
