Introduction: Nanotechnology is the study of tools made by humans that have at least one range in the range of 1 to 1000 nanometers. To understand this scale, it should be noted that this range is equivalent to the size of a number of atoms and the size of intracellular structures. The problem of targeting a cancer drug, especially for a tumor, should be considered more and better in the future. Nanostructures can be filled with cancer drugs, and those that have targeting agents at their surface can be called nano-carriers. Nanocarriers have raised hopes for the proper and efficient delivery of tumor-specific drugs. The goal is the potential applications of nanotechnology in the field of cancer.
Methods: This review study relevant information from search databases Pub med ,Scopus ,Google Scholer & Magiran.Data analysis was performed qualitatively.
Results: Finally, nanotechnology will lead to the production of biomolecular sensors that are able to detect many biomarkers simultaneously and will be used to modify the process of diagnosis, prognosis, disease prognosis, and treatment. Two examples of special designs are nano-base and nano Both are coated with molecules attached to biomarkers. The nanoparticles are broken or tilted after binding to the biomarker. Using lasers, these failures are detected and tracked. The nanowires, after connection, undergo a change in their conductivity, and this change is electrically traceable. Both of these nanoparticles and nanowires change the method and speed of cancer detection.
Conclusion: Using nanotechnology, it may be possible to target specific drugs designed for a particular type of cancer, resulting in better treatment outcomes and fewer toxic side effects. This technology increases the ability to photography and identify biomarkers to improve the diagnosis. The use of biomolecular sensors can replace nanotechnology with a tissue resection method and eliminate the need for it.
