Chapter 12 Advanced fiber material in tumor therapy
-
Shveta Sharma
Abstract
Even though there has been a lot of research done and a lot of progress made in the treatment of cancer, tumor recurrence and metastasis are still significant concerns. Recent developments in biomaterials have made it easier to create a local therapy for cancer. Nano-sized medicines have the potential to advantageously improve circulation time, targeted activities, and safe drug administration, all with the goal of reducing the risks and side effects associated with chemotherapy. Among them, nanofiber frameworks are the most important due to the porosity they possess, which consequently results in increased surface area and high loading of drug. In this chapter, recent researches on nano fibrous material to be used in tumor therapy have been summarized.
