Abstract

Due to the defects of traditional cancer therapies, nanotechnology has been widely applied to treat tumors. Much achievement has been achieved. Since the magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) has been invented, many researchers have developed many MNPs. In addition, targeted drug delivery and magnetic hyperthermia are also well studied. Various breakthroughs have been made in this field. MNPs have been widely used, and both theoretical and applied research have developed rapidly. This paper discussed the research progress on MNPs. It can efficiently deliver drugs to tumor tissue in a targeted manner. Nowadays, dendrimer polymers as a promising biomedical material were used to enhance the versatility of magnetic nanoparticles to improve cancer therapies. In addition, the mechanisms of targeted drug delivery by MNPs were discussed. The current knowledge, and perspectives of application of MNPs in cancer treatment in this paper could provide a good reference for the future research of cancer diagnosis and treatment.
