The authors have attempted to produce a fully-updated and comprehensive outline
of the applications of exploitable nanoscience and nanotechnology in combating
cancer. The study also introduces the reader to nucleic acids (especially
dynamic DNA), gene mutations, virus-like particles, immunology and vaccines,
plant nutraceuticals and the sunshine superstar (the wonder vitamin D) in the
context of prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cancers. While taking the
reader on an exciting journey through several disciplines such as ayurveda,
allopathy, traditional and complementary medicine, chemotherapy and
nanomedicine, some closely related issues of general health and diseases other
than cancer are also touched upon briefly wherever relevant.
