Publisher's Synopsis
Magnetic nanomaterials (MNPs) have revolutionized the nanotechnology healthcare sector due to their significant inherent properties that has enabled them to be used for diverse biomedical applications, with particular emphasis upon cancer immnotherapeutics as well as precision oncology surgery. This title highlights recent advancements of magnetic nanomaterials in biology and medicine for the treatment of cancer. This is particularly relevant pertaining to major research advancements occurring over the past several years in such critical fields as the toxicity, immunogenicity, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and biodistribution of MNPs. These are further demonstrated though a discussion of the inclusion of actual clinical trials using MNPs that are either clinically approved or under trial for cancer therapy. This project bridges a significant knowledge gap in the field of magnetic nanotheranostics for cancer treatment.
