INTRODUCTION

Nanotechnology will change the very foundations of cancer diagnosis

,treatment and prevention .
If we take an imaginative approach of course, this quite logical since
everything around us is made up of atomic and molecular matter.
All of our problem are ultimately rooted atomic and molecular
arrangements. Nanotechnology has at least provided a way for us to
rearrangement and restructure matter on an atomic scale, allowing us to
reach down to the very roots of any problem.

OVERVIEW

Nanotechnology:
Nanotechnology is the engineering of functional system at the molecular
scale.
Nano refers to the 10^-9 power or 1 billionth. For comparison,a human
hair is about 100,0000 nanometre thick.
The word itself is a combination of nano,from the Greek nanos(or latin
nanus)meaning dwarf and the word science.

NANO MEDICINE
Nano medicine ranges from the medical applications of nano
materials to nano electronics, biosensor and even possible
future applications of molecular nano technology.

CANCER

Cancer is a class of diseases characterised by out of control cell growth.

there are over 100 different type of cancer and each is classified by the
type of cell that is initially affected.
Tumor cell are basically two types.
A tumor cell is a part of tissues that is abnormally growing it may be either
maligant or begin in nature.

CAUSES OF CANCER

External factors-chemicals,radiation,viruses and life style.

Internal factors-hormones,immune conditions and inherited mutation.
Cellular changes.

PREVENTIVE APPROACH

Let us consider melanoma is a form of skin cancer is caused pimarily by

UV radiation from the sun.
An even bigger problem that we leave opening during the application of
emulsion due to macro scale and micro scale imperfection in our skin.so
the UV radiation allows though dead layer of skin and causes wide
damage.

CANCER TREATMENT

A drug that is especially toxic to tumor cell is usually also toxic to healty
cell and simply flooding the entier body with it causes system-wide
damages and serious side effects.
The few treatments are:
CHEMPOTHERAPHY
RADIATION THERAPHY
IMMUNOTHERAPHY
HYPERTHERAPHY
STEM CELL TRANSPLANTATION(PERIPHERAL BLOOD,BONE
MARROW AND CORD BLOOD TRANSPLANT)

NANO PARTICLE TECHNOLOGIES

GOLD PARTICLE
NANO BARCODES
QUANTUM DOTS
NANOPARTICLE PROBES
MAGNETIC NANOPARTICLES

USING GOLD NANO PARTICLE

Using nanoparticles(nanogold)occur as clusters of gold atoms up to

100nm in diameter.
Biological electronic microscopy is one of the area where gold
nanoparticles have been extensively used as contract against.

TREATMENT

Once the nanoparticle has the safely travelled through the blood stream, it
binds to the tumour cell. Most work is being done with near-infrared light,
which is harmless to humans but can only penetrate human issues about
1.5 inches.

ADVANTAGES

Nano scale devices have the potential to radically change cancer theraphy
for the better.
Nano technology may also be useful for protect drugs from being
degrateded in the body before they reach there target enhance the
absorption of drugs into tumor and cancerous cell themselves.

DISADVANTAGE

Cancer targeting is highly dependent on surface chemistry.not just any

nano particle will work.
The need for biocompatible and stable nano particles.
Side effect and toxicity.

CONCLUSION

Over the past 150 years,many innovative and ground breaking techniques
have been developed in order to treat cancer.

There have been significant improvement largely due to break though both
in the bottom-up and top-down nano technology
