One of the predominant features of nano-materials is an extremely high surface area. Emerging Science joins Chris Landry, professor of chemistry at the University of Vermont, as he describes how nanotechnology applications are improving the efficacy of cancer drugs by delivering more medicine to patients.
Nanotechnology cancer treatments use tiny particles to unleash poisons into cancer cells without the harmful side effects of chemotherapy. Learn how nanotechnology is improving cancer treatments with information from a doctor in this free video on cancer.
