Abstract: (2249 Views)

When a cell’s DNA is damaged, the injured cells react by changing from normal to malignant cells, rather than dying or repairing the damage. Metastatic cancer is the deadliest kind of cancer since it refers to cancer that has spread to other parts of the patient’s body. The need for cancer detection techniques that are rapid, non-invasive, and accurate is growing. Cancer diagnosis, monitoring, therapy, and prognosis may all benefit from a diagnostic tool that can quickly and efficiently detect changes in cancer biomarkers in biological samples. Medication delivery, biomarker mapping, molecular imaging, drug transport, gene therapy, targeted therapy, and detection and diagnostics are some of the possible nanotechnology uses in cancer diagnosis and treatment that have been discovered. Nano-carriers for pharmaceutical delivery are critical in the medical business. Nanotechnology-based molecular diagnostics has the potential to accurately and quickly identify cancer. Nanotechnology-based treatments may ensure precise malignant tissue targeting. As their name suggests, nanofibers are fibers with a single dimension in the nanoscale region. Also, because of its simplicity and ease of parameter control, electrospinning is the most often utilized. In this paper, we look at how prepared nanofibres may be utilized to detect and cure cancer.
