MAGNETIC NANOPARTICLES IN CANCER DIAGNOSIS
AND TREATMENT: NOVEL APPROACHES

Igor Pantic

Abstract

Despite intensive research efforts, cancer remains one of the leading causes of death in the world. Many new methods and techniques have been developed in order to improve diagnosis and treatment, often promising in the beginning, but with limited results during the course of their application. This concise review focuses on novel approaches in development and production of magnetic nanoparticles, as well as their application in today's cancer diagnosis and treatment.
