Abstract

Cancer remains a pressing global health concern, burdening individuals, families, and healthcare systems worldwide, mainly because of the limited availability of therapeutic options. These days, nanotechnology is revolutionizing cancer research by offering promising drug delivery systems. Among these, nanobots and nanocarriers are key nanotechnology components, offering groundbreaking strategies in cancer therapy by delivering drugs, enhancing diagnostics, and preventing diseases at molecular levels. Nanobots and nanocarriers, engineered at sizes ranging from 1 to 100 nm, demonstrate biocompatibility with cellular systems, offer precise drug delivery, and reduce side effects compared to conventional therapies such as chemotherapy and surgery. Research efforts now focus on transitioning nanobots and nanocarriers from laboratories to clinics, aiming for precision medicine, targeted drug delivery, enhanced therapy efficacy, and minimal side effects. This review aims to highlight the potential of nanobots and nanocarriers in cancer treatment and provide insights into their role in paving the way for clinical applications and improving outcomes in cancer therapy.

纳米机器人和纳米载体在癌症治疗中的应用。

癌症仍然是一个紧迫的全球健康问题，给全世界的个人、家庭和卫生保健系统带来负担，主要是因为治疗选择的可用性有限。如今，纳米技术通过提供有前途的药物输送系统，正在给癌症研究带来革命性的变化。其中，纳米机器人和纳米载体是纳米技术的关键组成部分，通过在分子水平上传递药物、增强诊断和预防疾病，为癌症治疗提供了突破性的策略。纳米机器人和纳米载体的设计尺寸从1纳米到100纳米不等，与细胞系统具有生物相容性，提供精确的药物输送，与化疗和手术等传统疗法相比，副作用更小。目前的研究重点是将纳米机器人和纳米载体从实验室转移到临床，旨在实现精准医疗、靶向给药、增强治疗效果和最小化副作用。这篇综述旨在强调纳米机器人和纳米载体在癌症治疗中的潜力，并提供它们在为临床应用铺平道路和改善癌症治疗结果方面的作用。
