Recent Application of Nanotechnology for Cancer Immunotherapy and Its Future Prospects

Nanotechnology means measurements estimated by nanometers or one-billionth of a meter- - to make structures, medical devices, gadgets and frameworks for medical, clinical and other uses, such as disease diagnosis. Cancer immunotherapy uses medications or drugs to help a patient's immune system fight cancer, as opposed to chemotherapy, which uses drugs to directly kill cancer cells, according to the National Cancer Institute (NCI). Antigen-consolidating nanoparticles with immunomodulatory agents activate immune cells and modify the tumor microenvironment to boost antitumor immunity.
