Transforming Cancer Treatment Smart Materials to Gene Therapies

This book explores the rapidly evolving landscape of cancer treatment, focusing on how smart materials and next-generation gene therapies are reshaping therapeutic possibilities. It examines adaptive biomaterials designed for targeted drug delivery, tumour-responsive nanostructures, and bioengineered platforms capable of sensing and modulating cellular behaviour. Alongside these innovations, the book highlights advances in gene-editing tools, personalised genomic interventions, and molecular strategies that alter disease pathways with unprecedented precision. By bridging materials science with genetic engineering, the text provides a comprehensive view of how these emerging technologies converge to create safer, more effective, and patient-specific cancer therapies. Ideal for clinicians, researchers, and innovators seeking a clear understanding of the future of oncology.
