Posted by Polymeric Nanoparticles as Promising Tool for Anti-cancer Therapeutics (edited by Prashant Kesharwani, Kishore Paknikar and Virendra Gajbhiye) and published by Elsevier, provides an understanding of polymeric compounds and their use in cancer therapies on 432 pages. The book begins by giving an overview of the current status, future challenges and potential utilization of polymeric nanoparticles. It then covers specific polymeric nanoparticles . Chapters examine specific polymeric nanoparticles, their development as potential targeted delivery systems, and cancer characteristics that can be targeted for therapy development. The book synthesizes current research trends in the field, thus enhancing existing knowledge of nanomedicine, drug delivery and therapeutic intervention strategies in human cancers focusing on:
- development of polymeric nanoparticle systems for the purpose of cancer therapy
- usage of polymeric nanoparticles-based platforms for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer
- various cancer characteristics that can be targeted for therapeutic development using polymeric nanoparticles
