Summary Clinical medicine has seen tremendous improvements during past several decades. Despite its progress in many illnesses till date, cancer is not detected at the earliest subclinical stages. Patients still are exposed to highly toxic whole body chemotherapy. However with the discovery of nanotechnology which has emerged as a new tool for early diagnosis and as a targeted drug delivery system to the cancer cells will pre vent mortality and increase the quality of life in cancer patients.
