  • Introduction: Today, cancer is one of the biggest problems in the health sector of modern societies. The use of nano science and nano robots in medical science has created new ways to diagnose, image and treat cancer in humans. Our article is an overview of the application of nanoscience and nanorobots in cancer diagnosis and treatment.
  • Methods: To collect and summarize the information, 78 articles were selected from 11 international websites and 8 Iranian websites. By looking at their titles, 48 articles were removed and by studying the summary of the remaining articles, we reached 20 articles.
  • Results: The application of nanoscience in medical sciences is very wide, but with the help of designing nanorobots, cancer cells can be identified and treated. Although there are still challenges and limitations for the use of nano robots in medicine, it is hoped that in the near future nano robots will create a great revolution not only in oncology but also in medicine.
  • Conclusion: As we mentioned in the previous chapters, in the last decade, cancer is known as the second cause of death, which is known as a hard-to-treat disease. On the other hand, scientists turned to nanoscience to treat this disease, and by designing nano-robots, They went to the treatment and identification of cancer cells. In addition to the significant uses that can be made of nano-robots in the treatment of cancer, we must know that we need to commercialize this product (nano-robots) for widespread use in the world. Chen and Hu (2019) believe that despite all the progress made, there are still challenges in the final commercialization of nanomedical robots. One of the most important challenges is their recognition by the body's immune system as a disturbing factor that can cause problems in their functioning. In addition, the ingredients of these nano-robots must be degradable and at the same time have enough strength to carry drug doses that are somewhat contradictory. Finally, the big challenge of nano-robots is to move against the body's blood flow, which requires a strong force. To solve these challenges, scientists have resorted to a variety of electromagnetic, chemical, and even bacterial and viral methods, and every day there are news from some parts of the world about the development of a new technology. We will have to wait and see in the end this difficult yet transformative commercialization path.
