This book highlights the role of Biomedical Engineering (BME) used
in diagnosis (e.g., body scanners) and treatment (radiation therapy
and minimal access surgery in order to prevent various diseases).
In recent years, an important progress has been made in the
expansion of biomedical microdevices which has a major role in
diagnosis and therapy of cancer. When fighting cancer, efficacy and
speed are of the utmost importance. A recently developed
microfluidic chip has enabled a breakthrough in testing the
efficacy of specialized cancer drugs. Effective cancer-targeting
therapies will require both passive and active targeting strategies
and a thorough understanding of physiologic barriers to targeted
drug delivery. Targeted cancer treatments in development and the
new combinatorial approaches show promise for improving targeted
anticancer drug delivery and improving treatment outcomes. This
book discusses the advancements and innovations in the field of BME
that improve the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. This book is
focused on bioengineering approaches to improve targeted delivery
for cancer therapeutics, which include particles, targeting
moieties, and stimuli-responsive drug release mechanisms. This book
is a useful resource for students, researchers, and professionals
in BME and medicine.
