The success of nanotechnology depends on what you use it for. As an example, there are many useful flavonoids for cancer treatment, but their bioavailability is very poor. This is the case of curcumin. Now, if through nanoparticles you can deliver curcumin to the cancer cell, it would be a breakthrough. The case of curcumin is one in a long list of highly promissing nutraceutical and pharmaceutical that require a new transportation method. Nanotechnology could be the answer.

Yes,nanotechnology is new cancer therapy,it offers the means to treatment of cancerous cells selectivity.For instance,AuNPs has been used for the treatment of lung cancer. AuNPs are emerging as promising agents for cancer therapy .AuNPs are considered to be relatively biologically non-reactive and therefore suitable for in vivo applications .These factors contribute preference for the use of AuNPs as an agent for cancer therapy over other NPs.
