- Abstract
Nano-biotechnology can be considered as application of various nanotechnologies in the biological field. With the advent of nano-particles, a revolution has come in the scientific community. The convergence of nanotechnology and medicine recently led to an interdisciplinary field, nanomedicine, which brings together engineers, physicists, biologists, chemists, mathematicians, and physicians striving to improve detection, imaging, and drug-delivery devices. The approaches to nanomedicine range from the medical use of nanomaterials, to nanoelectronics biosensors, and even possible future applications of molecular nanotechnology. Cancer is a leading cause of mortality in the world. Cancers of the head and neck--including the salivary glands, thyroid, and the mucosal lining of the oral cavity, pharynx, nasopharynx, and larynx--account for the high percentage of malignancies of the world. At present the treatment modalities available are very limited. A multidisciplinary approach is needed, including the cooperation of biophysics experts, molecular biologists and medical practitioners, to find ways of using nano-biotechnologies for cancer management. Hence future research needs to focus on designing new strategies where nano-biomaterials and medicine can come together to find a cure.
