Nanotechnology in Colorectal Cancer for Precision Diagnosis and Therapy

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most frequently occurring tumor in human population. CRCs are usually adenocarcinomatous and originate as a polyp on inner wall of colon or rectum which may become malignant due course time. Although therapeutic options CRC limited, early diagnosis play an important role preventive interventions to decrease mortality rate. The CRC-affected tissues exhibit several molecular markers that be exploited novel strategy develop newer approaches for treatment disease. Nanotechnology consists wide array innovative astonishing nanomaterials with both diagnostics potential. Several nano formulations such Carbon nanotubes, Dendrimer, Liposomes, Silica Nanoparticles, Gold nanoparticles, Metal-organic frameworks, Core-shell polymeric nano-formulations, Nano-emulsion System, etc can used targeted anticancer drug delivery diagnostic purposes CRC. light-sensitive photosensitizer drugs loaded gold silica nanoparticles diagnose well killing cells by cells.
