Emerging strategies in developing multifunctional nanomaterials for cancer nanotheranostics

Cancer involves a collection of diseases with a common trait – dysregulation in cell proliferation. At present, traditional therapeutic strategies against cancer have limitations in tackling various tumors in clinical settings. These include chemotherapeutic resistance and the inability to overcome intrinsic physiological barriers to drug delivery. Nanomaterials have presented promising strategies for tumor treatment in recent years....
