Cancer being the second leading cause of death in the world has set many scientists in pursuit of a cure. The chances of survival after being diagnosed depend on the type of cancer you have, and what stage you are at. It is well known that detection of cancer at early stages is quite difficult and once you reach stage 4, your chances of recovering are pretty slim. In this article, we examine the potential for employing nanobots to effectively treat and eradicate cancer.
Cancer occurs when damaged DNA disrupts cell functions, leading to uncontrolled growth, tumor formation, immune system evasion, and the spread of immortal cells, ultimately threatening the host's survival.
Cancer's complexity stems from over 100 types, cellular differentiation, and genetic variability among individuals, making personalized treatment essential and hindering the development of a universal cure.
Nanobots, operating at a nanoscale, offer precise cancer solutions by detecting cancer cells, delivering drugs, and performing physical interventions, revolutionizing treatment by targeting cancer at its molecular level.
Nanobots require essential components like power sources, propellers, sensors, actuators, payload compartments, and communication hubs to navigate, detect, and target cancer cells, enabling precise and efficient treatment interventions.
Nanobot development faces challenges like immune response risks, safe body exit, complex manufacturing, and the critical need for precise targeting to differentiate cancer cells from healthy ones for effective treatment
