Cancer Nanotechnology: Methods and Protocols

Book reviews

Edited by Stephen R. Grobmyer and Brij M. Moudgil. Published by Humana Press 2010, 375pp, €109,95

Early detection of cancer at the cellular level, even before anatomic anomalies are visible, is critical to more efficacious and cost-effective diagnosis and therapeutic advances. This book, written by an international panel of experts, provides 'how-to' approaches developed and employed by researchers in a variety of disciplines to identify cancer-specific biomarkers, construct suitable multifunctional targetted nanostructure platforms, along with enhanced imaging and therapeutic applications. The volume addresses the key challenges of the field today – specifically-targetted and localised delivery of the drugs – covering such topics as multifunctional and multimodal nanoparticles, nanoparticle-mediated cancer theranostics, molecular targets for cancer nanotechnology and nanoparticles for non-invasive image-guided cancer therapy.
