Nanotechnology in Oral Cancer Treatment

Abstract

Oral cancer (OC) is one of the leading causes of increasing global mortality. The nature of its local invasion following metastasis is a growing concern for the entire medical fraternity. Despite multiple approaches towards improvement in conventional diagnostics and treatment modalities, global mortality has not shown a significant downfall. Hence, this research focuses on developing novel diagnostic techniques and drug delivery systems to improve the morbidity and mortality numbers. The utilization of nanotechnology for such innovative diagnostic and therapeutic methods has become increasingly valuable for current researchers. This chapter provides in-depth scientific literature regarding the use of nanotechnology in OC treatment.
