Cancer is a leading cause of death globally, and current cancer therapies often fall short in reducing death and improving quality of life. Early detection of cancer cells and targeted drug application is crucial to optimal treatment. Nanotechnology shows promise in improving cancer diagnosis and treatment by reducing toxicity and refractory disease. In this essay, we focus on how nanotechnology can overcome resistance and hypoxic issues in cancer treatment.
