The initial chapters introduce lung cancer through its epidemiology, pathophysiology, and immunological mechanisms. The subsequent chapters emphasize the role of novel nanoparticles in early detection and imaging of lung cancer. The book then explores the potential of different nanomaterials, such as metal and metal oxide nanoparticles, nano micelles, carbon nanotubes, liposomes, polymeric nanoparticles, solid lipid nanoparticles, dendrimers, nanofibers, and quantum dots, in lung cancer treatment. Each chapter focuses on the unique properties.
