Nano-based approaches for cancer therapeutics are undoubtedly important to tackle cancer. However, it is widely known that each cancer type has its own peculiarities and heterogeneity. This way, which are the main aspects / considerations you consider a "signature" and unique for each cancer type in what concerns nanomedicine-based therapies?

Dear Miguel Pereira-Silva,
According to your goal and what are you by designing a nano-carrier, the nanotechnological approaches can change. For instance, if you need to high drug loading efficiency, the lipid-based nano-complexes are suitable while polymer-based nano-carriers such as dendrimers are good for high potent surface engineering and modification with low drug loading efficiency. On the other side, surface functionalization can effectively affect your goal since every cancer cells have their specific biomolecules which can capture synthetic functionalized-nanocarrier.
I suggest to have a look on this article published in Trends in Food Science and Technology - Elsevier as one of the way forward for the solution;
"A review on chemistry and pharmacology of Ajwa date fruit and pit"
@ Miguel Pereira-Silva
Hi dear Miguel, depending on the type of cancer, nano-materials, and nano-carriers with unique properties can be used for treatment. Liposomes and polymers with unique configuration can act as carriers that pass through the body's immune system due to their biocompatibility and release the drug when it reaches the site of cancer. The function of these substances can even be combined with other methods like chemical and electrochemical treatment and improve treatment.
