Recent Advances in Nanocarriers for Pancreatic Cancer Therapy reviews thriving strategies concerning pancreatic cancer therapy, thoroughly describing the most recent developments in emerging modern drug delivery systems focused on, and derived from, nanotechnology. By providing a holistic understanding of the molecular pathways, conventional therapy and novel nanocarriers mediated drug delivery against pancreatic cancer, this work can be considered a complete package. The book offers a solution to the dissemination of data from a broad range of resources by providing an overview of the molecular pathways and conventional therapy of pancreatic cancer, the application of various nanocarriers, and more.
This book equips scientists, clinicians and students to make rational treatment approaches based on nanomedicine for improving and extending the human life against pancreatic cancer.
Explains the complete journey of nanomedicine-based approaches in pancreatic cancer drug delivery from fundamental to most recent applications Provides information about various approaches for the diagnosis and treatment of pancreatic cancer using the latest advancement in cutting-edge nanomedical technologies Discusses the perspectives of the technologies explored to date based upon the fi ndings outlined in highly organized tables, illustrative fi gures, and fl ow charts for easy consult and comprehension
