ABSTRACT

This review aims at giving an overview of the present status of nanorobotics in cancer therapy. With the aid of biotechnology, molecular biology (as engineered organism) and molecular medicine can develop fully self-sufficient nanorobots/nanobots. The nanorobotics considered, as a wonderful vision of medicine in the future are an advanced submicron device generally made of bio-nanocomponents. It has an eminence future in the drug delivery technology target in cancer, the disease that leading cause of death among younger than 85 years. Nanorobots could carry and deliver large amounts of anti-cancer drugs into cancerous cells without harming healthy cells, reducing the side effects related to current therapies like damage of the conventional chemotherapy. This paper presents a study on different approaches employed towards cancer treatment using nanorobots. Further, it also provides an insight into the future scope in this field of study.

KEYWORDS

Nanorobotics, cancer therapy, application of nanorobots, nanorobotics for cancer.
