This book presents a systematic overview of the most relevant nanomaterials and their
respective intrinsic properties that have been highly explored by the scientific community and
pharmaceutical companies in several different modalities for cancer therapy and bioimaging. The
chapters explore the synergistic effects provided by the different nanostructured materials and
highlight the main in vitro and in vivo therapeutic achievements on cancer. This work also
provides relevant discussion about the recent progresses and future challenges that
nanotechnology faces on the conception of more efficient nanoformulations against primary
tumors circulating cancer cells and metastases.
