Fabrication of Multifunctional Nanoparticles for Targeted Cancer Therapy

Svea Bjorkman*

Cancer remains one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide, and despite advancements in treatment, the limitations of traditional chemotherapy, such as systemic toxicity and poor bioavailability, continue to challenge the efficacy of therapeutic interventions. In recent years, the development of multifunctional nanoparticles (MFNs) has emerged as a promising approach to overcome these challenges. These nanoparticles offer the potential for targeted drug delivery, enhanced imaging, and combination therapies within a single platform. The unique properties of nanoparticles, including their small size, large surface area, and ability to be functionalized, enable precise targeting of cancer cells while minimizing off-target effects. Multifunctional nanoparticles can be engineered to carry therapeutic agents, diagnostic agents, and imaging probes, allowing for real-time monitoring of therapy progression and treatment effectiveness. This review focuses on the fabrication methods, properties, and applications of multifunctional nanoparticles in targeted cancer therapy, with an emphasis on their potential to revolutionize cancer treatment paradigms.
