Scope of nanotechnology in ovarian cancer therapeutics
This review describes the use of polymer micelle nanotechnology based chemotherapies for ovarian cancer. While various chemotherapeutic agents can be utilized to improve the survival rate of patients with ovarian cancer, their distribution throughout the entire body results in high normal organ toxicity. Polymer micelle nanotechnology aims to improve the therapeutic efficacy of anti-cancer drug...
متن کاملNanotechnology application in cancer treatment
Chemotherapy has been the main known treatment for cancer diseases. However, its achievement rate remains low, mainly because of the restricted accessibility of drugs to the tumor tissue, their painful toxicity, and development of multi-drug resistance. In recent years, either better understanding of tumor biology or development of the ever-growing field of nanotechnology has proposed new treat...
متن کاملFractionation in radiation treatment planning
Radiotherapy treatment is often delivered in a fractionated manner over a period of time. Emerging delivery devices are able to determine the actual dose that has been delivered at each stage facilitating the use of adaptive treatment plans that compensate for errors in delivery. We formulate a model of the day-to-day planning problem as a stochastic program and exhibit the gains that can be ac...
