Bio-Nanomedicine for Cancer Therapy

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 1295))

Abstract

Lately, a remarkable progress has been recorded in the field of electrospinning for the preparation of numerous types of nanofiber scaffolds. These scaffolds present some remarkable features including high loading capacity and encapsulation efficiency, superficial area and porosity, potential for modification, structure for the co-delivery of various therapies, and cost-effectiveness. Their present and future applications for cancer diagnosis and treatment are promising and pioneering. In this chapter we provide a comprehensive overview of electrospun nanofibers (ESNFs) applications in cancer diagnosis and treatment, covering diverse types of drug-loaded electrospun nanofibers.
