  • Abstract
    The credential part of this paper gives the theoretical application of nanodevices in the treatment of cancer. The latest technology for the treatment of cancer is the chemotherapy treatment in which drugs of specific composition is given to the patients depending on the biopsy of the tumor from the patient. The main disadvantage of using chemotherapy is that the drug used is not so specific and hence it causes damage to the surrounding healthy cells. To make the treatment more specific, we use the nanodevices that use nanosensors to sense the cancer cells with biomotors to decrease hypoxia environment and some specific compounds that control the telomerase production, which could serve as a means of controlling cell division. This paper is only a theoretical analysis given and could be implemented in practical which could bring the fruitful outcome in the medical field of science.
