Despite huge efforts, medical science has been unable to generate a \"magic anticancer drug\", that is, a drug that can cure cancer completely and efficiently.\u003cbr\u003e The reason for this is that fundamental problems lie not in the drug itself, but in the way in which it is delivered and how it reaches the tumour. This lack of control and precision is present in other therapies, where a lack of specificity can thus damage healthy cells. One of the major goals in nanomedicine is to apply nanotechnology for the sustained, controlled and targeted delivery of therapeutic agents and radiosensitisers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Josep Saldana,Joan Escofet\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1508804907\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781508804901\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/11\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 164\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.19lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 0.43d","brand":"Josep Saldana","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48113602461951,"sku":"9781508804901","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6bb6c118-e9fa-46b0-8c54-feb80b8aa817.jpg?v=1769616091","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/nano-oncology-the-turning-point-josep-saldana-9781508804901","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
