Abstract Nanotechnology has the potential to increase the selectivity and potency of chemical, physical, and biological approaches for eliciting cancer cell death while minimizing collateral toxicity to nonmalignant cells. Materials on the nanoscale are increasingly being targeted to cancer cells with great specificity through both active and passive targeting. In this review, we summarize recent literature that has broken new ground in the use of nanotechnology for cancer treatment with an emphasis on targeted drug delivery.

用于癌症治疗的纳米技术

摘要 纳米技术有可能提高化学、物理和生物学方法的选择性和效力，用于引发癌细胞死亡，同时最大限度地减少对非恶性细胞的附带毒性。纳米级材料越来越多地通过主动和被动靶向作用以高度特异性的方式靶向癌细胞。在这篇综述中，我们总结了最近的文献，这些文献在使用纳米技术治疗癌症方面开辟了新天地，重点是靶向药物递送。
