About the Book

"Far from the public perception that nanotechnology and nanomedicine are still trending topics of science fiction"

- An Introduction to the Nano-Oncology, the Most Promising and Recent Contribution to Fight Cancer

- The State-of-the-Art of this New Paradigm, the Cancer Nanomedicine

Cancer is a leading cause of disease-related mortality, and with the increasing lifespan, it is predicted to be the cause of 50% of deaths in the 1st world population. Despite huge efforts, medical science has been unable to generate a "magic anticancer drug", that is, a drug that can cure cancer completely and efficiently.
The reason for this is that fundamental problems lie not in the drug itself, but in the way in which it is delivered and how it reaches the tumour. This lack of control and precision is present in other therapies, where a lack of specificity can thus damage healthy cells. One of the major goals in nanomedicine is to apply nanotechnology for the sustained, controlled and targeted delivery of therapeutic agents and radiosensitisers.
About the Author: Pr. Víctor Puntes has an ICREA research Profesorship on inorganic Nanoparticles. He has a degree on chemistry and chemical engineering and a phD on physics, and he is currently working on the study of the energy and mass transfer between small aggregates of inorganic atoms and their environment, sharing his time between the Catalan Institute of Nanotechnology (ICN2) and the Research Institute of the Vall d'Hebró University Hospital (VHIR) .

Josep Saldaña is a tracker and contextualizer --Nanotechnology since 2005 for NanoWiki, and Biogas since 2014 for Applied Nanoparticles. Co-author of the NanoWiki book series. Passionate of the nanosatellites, a paradigm shift in the space exploration through the use of the nanotechnology.

Joan Escofet is a content designer. With an education on art and architecture, he works on the construction of the visual image to convey meaning for grassroots urban participatory projects, nanotechnology books, and other collaborative projects to reveal context.
