\"Attacking
Attacking Cancer From All Sides<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The second leading cause of death in the U.S., the fight against cancer<\/a> needs all the weapons in its arsenal that it can get. Step-in nanoparticles, tiny but tough tools ready for battle in the war.<\/p>\n

An enormous job for infinitesimal workers: Nanotechnology in early cancer detection<\/strong>
\nTargeted delivery of specific nanoparticles<\/a> to a tumor site can induce a reaction with cancer cells, prompting the body to significantly increase the production of biomarkers necessary for cancer identification. Earlier detection and diagnosis allow less burdensome treatments, offers a faster diagnosis than biopsies, and increases chances of recovery.<\/p>\n

Miniature mappers: Nanoparticles in imaging<\/strong>
\nNanoparticles engineered with magnetic properties are effective imaging agents when used with MRI scans. Nanites bind particularly well with tumors, allowing a very high resolution, clear map of cancerous sites for the planning of surgical removal or treatment.<\/p>\n

Small but mighty: Nanites in cancer therapy and drug delivery<\/strong>
\nA revolutionary new technology in the fight against cancer, nanoparticles are capable of a variety of attacks against this deadly disease. Nanites can be injected into a tumor to produce heat, allowing for the destruction of cancer cells locally with X-rays, magnetic fields, or light; They can be used to encapsulate chemotherapy drugs or genes for localized delivery and a significant reduction in quantity of drugs as well as a reduction in side effects and impact on healthy tissue; and more, including an array of up-and-coming technology (LINK TO GOOGLE ARTICLE)<\/em> currently under development.<\/p>\n
