Nanotheranostic Approach for the management of colorectal cancer

Abstract

Colorectal Cancer (CRC) is a highly prevalent and the most frequent reason for death. The choice of nanotheranostic technology for the management of colorectal cancer is one of the emerging strategies to overcome Colorectal Cancer (CRC). Magnetic nanoparticles are employed in this case because they have biomedical applications, such as diagnostic imaging, thermal treatment, and medication transport. There has been evidence of the usage of various chemicals on the surface of nano-particles, such as ligands, to highlight the contact with tumour cells at the target region in order to induce effective cytotoxic drug release. This review will highlight current breakthroughs in targeting magnetic nanoparticles against colorectal cancer, as well as the selection of ligands and their cellular targets with ionizing radiation employing in vitro and in vivo energies for Colorectal Cancer management.
