Nanotechnology and nanobots unleashed: pioneering a new era in gynecological cancer management - a comprehensive review

Naina Kumar et al. Cancer Chemother Pharmacol. .

Abstract

Introduction: Gynecological cancers, such as ovarian, cervical, and endometrial malignancies, are notoriously challenging due to their intricate biology and the critical need for precise diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. In recent years, groundbreaking advances in nanotechnology and nanobots have emerged as game-changers in this arena, offering the promise of a new paradigm in cancer management. This comprehensive review delves into the revolutionary potential of these technologies, showcasing their ability to transform the landscape of gynecological oncology.

Methodology: A systematic literature search spanning from March 2005 to August 2024 was conducted using major databases such as PubMed, Google Scholar, and Scopus. Keywords included "nanotechnology," "nanobots," "gynecological cancers," "ovarian cancer," "cervical cancer," and "endometrial cancer." Relevant articles published in English were selected based on their focus on nanotechnology and nanobots in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of gynecological cancers. The findings were synthesized to present a coherent overview of how nanotechnology and nanobots are reshaping gynecological cancer management. The review highlights key innovations, current applications, and future directions for research and clinical implementation.

Conclusion: The integration of nanotechnology and nanobots in gynecological cancer management represents a groundbreaking shift in the field. Recent advancements in nanoscale materials and robotic technology offer unprecedented opportunities for precision diagnosis, targeted drug delivery, and innovative therapeutic approaches. Despite promising developments, challenges such as biocompatibility, safety, and regulatory issues remain. Continued research and clinical trials are essential to overcome these hurdles and fully realize the potential of nanotechnology and nanobots.

Keywords: Gynecological cancers; Nanoparticles; Nanorobots; Nanotechnology; Targeted therapy.
