商品簡介
Cancer continues to be one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide, demanding innovative therapeutic strategies that combine advances in physics, nanotechnology, engineering, artificial intelligence, and clinical medicine. Frontiers of Nanophysics in Cancer Therapy provides a comprehensive and interdisciplinary exploration of the fundamental principles, emerging technologies, and translational applications of nanophysics in modern oncology. The book begins with the physical foundations of nanoscience, including nanoscale phenomena, quantum effects, electromagnetic interactions, and nanoparticle transport in biological systems. It then examines the design, synthesis, characterization, and functionalization of nanomaterials for cancer diagnosis and therapy. Particular emphasis is placed on targeted drug delivery, photothermal therapy, photodynamic therapy, magnetic hyperthermia, radiation dose enhancement, image-guided therapy, biosensors, molecular imaging, and multimodal theranostic platforms. In addition, the book explores the integration of artificial intelligence, computational modeling, digital twins, machine learning, and precision medicine for optimizing personalized cancer treatment. Advanced simulation methods, including Monte Carlo techniques and multiphysics modeling, are presented alongside discussions of clinical translation, regulatory considerations, safety, ethics, and future directions. Designed for graduate students, researchers, medical physicists, biomedical engineers, oncologists, materials scientists, and healthcare professionals, this volume serves as both a foundational reference and an advanced guide to the rapidly evolving field of nanophysics-based cancer therapy. By integrating physical sciences with biomedical innovation, the book highlights the transformative potential of nanotechnology to improve therapeutic efficacy, minimize adverse effects, and advance the future of precision oncology.
