ABSTRACT

Nanomedicine integrates nanotechnology with medicine to address complex challenges in disease diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. By engineering nanomaterials, nanomedicine enables targeted drug delivery, enhances diagnostic imaging, and facilitates precision therapies with reduced systemic side effects. Applications in cancer treatment, cardiovascular diseases, and neurodegenerative disorders have demonstrated significant advancements, particularly in improving therapeutic efficacy and personalization. Despite its transformative potential, the field faces challenges, including biocompatibility, regulatory concerns, and public perception. Future innovations, such as nanorobotics and advanced smart materials, combined with multidisciplinary collaboration, are poised to unlock new horizons in nanomedicine, revolutionizing healthcare for personalized and preventive medicine.

Keywords: Nanotechnology, Nanomedicine, Targeted Drug Delivery, Cancer Treatment, Diagnostics.
