Summary of nanotechnology

.
Nanoparticle-based drug delivery systems have been widely used in targeted treatment of various
forms of cancer. In Chapter 19, a general outline on cancer treatment techniques and the recent develop-
ments in nanoparticle-based drug delivery systems for oral cancer treatment has been discussed. The
chapter also covers the limitations of such systems for cancer treatment. Carbon nanotubes are fast
emerging as biomaterials. In Chapter 20, carbon nanotubes for drug delivery and cancer treatment are
