چکیده
To address and overcome these barriers, the NCI established the Nanotechnology Characterization Laboratory (NCL) at its NCI-Frederick facility. The NCL is a formal collaboration with the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Its charter is “to perform the pre-clinical characterization of nanomaterials and to facilitate the development of nanomaterials intended for clinical use”. Focused development and pre-clinical testing of new technologies by the NCL will facilitate entry of these products into clinical trials, and this will directly affect the number of new diagnostic and treatment strategies that reach the market, i.e., new drug approvals.

Nanotechnology 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...

Despite development of new approaches for the treatment of cancer disease, it is the second cause of mortality in world. Annually, 30000 persons die in Iran due to cancer diseases. Eighty percent of cancer patients are children which about 50% children lead to death. Given the high rate of cancer-related death, the new approaches for prevention, control, early diagnosis, and treatment of this d...
متن کاملNanotechnology; its significance in cancer and photodynamic therapy
In the last decade, developments in nanotechnology have provided a new field in medicine called “Nanomedicine”. Nanomedicine has provided new tools for photodynamic therapy. Quantum dots (QDs) are approximately spherical nanoparticles that have attracted broad attention and have been used in nanomedicine applications. QDs have high molar extinction coefficients and photoluminescence quantum yie...
متن کاملApplications of nanofibers in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer
When a cell’s DNA is damaged, the injured cells react by changing from normal to malignant cells, rather than dying or repairing the damage. Metastatic cancer is the deadliest kind of cancer since it refers to cancer that has spread to other parts of the patient’s body. The need for cancer detection techniques that are rapid, non-invasive, and accurate is growing. Cancer diagnosis, monitoring, ...
