bloodiest nanotechnology and how does it work
nanoparticles are incredibly tiny
so small that one hundred thousand of them would fit on a single human hair
nanoparticles can be administered to patients intravenously
eighty-something float through the blood stream seeking out cancer cells wherever
they may be hiding
some nanotechnology is designed to seek out cancer cells an attached to them
using specialized receptors which bind to the tumor selectively
once found a tumor nanoparticles send out signals patel doctors where it's
located
this can help accurately visualize tumors that would not show up on
conventional medical scams
other nanotechnology is designed not only to find the cancer cells but you
can show them selectively
using specific receptors that attach only to the tumor
without injury nearby normal tissues
with time
nanoparticles are completely eliminated from the body
these are just two applications of nanotechnology for treating cancer
