ABSTRACT
Under the actual admission of cancer treatment limits and failure, today’s medical community is expanding the concept of cancer therapy to nontraditional disciplines such as robotics and engineering. The new proposition of actuated artificially 'manufactured' nanorobots to deliver therapeutics to a desired location in the body rather than relying on the natural pathways of systemic blood circulation is one of several promising innovations. The direct A to B concept of drug targeting has become a new challenge for biomedical engineers wishing to design and fabricate intelligent navigable nanoscale agents that could be guided directly to the target area through the shortest physiological route. Here, we introduce the most research-intensive sets of techniques used to manipulate nanoparticles (NPs) mainly with magnetic field to fulfil the tasks of nanorobots built to navigate in multiscale complex vascular networks. Combining different methodologies, this chapter presents some of the latest technologies that can overcome physiological challenges and hopefully bring about a brighter future for cancer therapies.
