Cancer affects people of all ages, and approximately one in three people are estimated to be diagnosed with cancer during their lifetime. Extensive research is being undertaken by many different institutions to explore potential new therapeutics, and biomaterials technology is being developed to target, treat, and prevent cancer. This book discusses the role and potential of biomaterials in treating this prevalent disease. The first part of the book discusses the fundamentals of biomaterials for cancer therapeutics. Part Two discusses synthetic vaccines, proteins, and polymers for cancer therapeutics. Part Three focusses on theranosis and drug delivery systems, while the final set of chapters look at biomaterial therapies and cancer cell interaction. A complete overview of the latest research into the potential of biomaterials for the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of cancer Discusses how the properties of specific biomaterials make them important in cancer treatment Discusses synthetic vaccines, proteins, and polymers for cancer therapeutics
