ABSTRACT:
This comprehensive review article provides information about the effectiveness of microscopic sized nanorobots in the treatment of cancer. Cancer is still a powerful foe, but the introduction of nanorobots as microscopic soldiers represents a fresh approach to treatment. Nanorobots, which measure between 1 and 100 nanometers, are designed to precisely target and destroy cancer cells while minimizing damage to healthy tissue. These tiny gadgets can be made to go through the bloodstream and reach even the most inaccessible malignancies.
Nanorobots can carry out a variety of functions, including medicine delivery, photothermal therapy, and surgical procedures. They can be designed to recognize certain cancer cell biomarkers, resulting in more targeted treatment. Furthermore, nanorobots can be outfitted with imaging capabilities, enabling real-time monitoring and diagnostics. The advantages of nanorobot-based cancer treatment are numerous, increased efficacy, fewer adverse effects, and better patient outcomes are expected. Furthermore, nanorobots can be engineered to overcome cancer cell resistance, which is a major challenge in standard cancer treatments. While there are still hurdles in bringing this technology to clinical practice, nanorobots have enormous potential for cancer treatment. Ongoing research aims to optimize nanorobot design, improve targeting tactics, and ensure biocompatibility. As the technology improves, nanorobots could become a potent weapon in the fight against cancer, providing new hope for both patients and clinicians. By leveraging the capabilities of nanorobots, we may be able to transform cancer therapy and, ultimately, save lives.
