The arena of nanomedicine has developed rapidly due to numerous tailor-made nanomaterials and their ease of surface modification. In recent past, nanomaterials are reported to have noteworthy potential to manage diseases, and it is expected that they will change the face of medicine. Further, it has been realized that many of the vital concepts of nanomedicine have been overlooked, and they must be attended to utilize full potential of nanotechnology. Therefore, this book takes a systematic approach to address the gaps relating to nanomedicine and bring together fragmented knowledge on the advances on nanomaterials and their biomedical applicability. In particular, this book demonstrates an exclusive compilation of state of the art with a focus on fundamental concepts, current trends, limitations, and future directions of nanomedicine.

This book is also a platform to convey essential concepts of nanomedicine and how these concepts can be employed to develop advanced nanomaterials for a range of biomedical applications. Due to unique contribution of chapters from global leaders, this book has become an important reference source for scientists, teachers, doctors, research scholars, and university students, who are interested in the field. It also contains a textbook-like presentation of the important principles and applications of nanotechnology.

The first chapter by Meena has excellently introduced the nanovehicles for drug delivery system. The emerging nanocarriers for targeted drug delivery in cancer have been discussed in Chap..
