This book presents innovative nanotechnology based strategies for cancer therapy, addressing the urgent need for novel treatments amid rising global cancer cases. It systematically reviews 13 cutting edge approaches, including photodynamic, photothermal, and sonodynamic therapies, nanomicroneedle technology, and Traditional Chinese Medicine based nanotechnology, etc.. while clarifying their theoretical foundations and applications. By integrating interdisciplinary research in nanomedicine, the book offers readers a comprehensive understanding of cancer treatment methods and their transformative potential compared to conventional therapies. This can be used by graduate students, researchers, R&D engineers, and clinicians seeking to apply nanotechnology in oncology.

Maoquan Chu was born in Anhui Province, China. He received his PhD in Chemical Engineering from East China University of Science and Technology in 2001. He then completed his postdoctoral work at the School of Life Science and Technology, Shanghai Jiaotong University, focusing on biomaterials and nanotechnology. In 2004, he joined the School of Life Science and Technology at Tongji University. In 2007, he was awarded the China Education Ministry’s “New Century Excellent Talents Supporting Plan.” In 2008, he became Professor and PhD supervisor. He is currently a principal investigator at the School of Life Science and Technology and the Frontier Science Center for Stem Cell Research, Tongji University, China. His primary research area is nanobiomedicine, with a current focus on cancer therapy using synthetic and natural biomaterials, as well as cells and bacteria. His recent work has been published in international journals such as Small, Biomaterials, Acta Biomaterialia, and Nano Research. Over the past eight years, he has authored three books and edited three books on biomaterials besides this book.
