Biomaterials for Precision Cancer Medicine bridges the gap between materials science and medicine, providing insights into novel biomaterial-based treatments for cancer. The book describes the various smart biomaterial-based treatments available, reviewing how they can be designed to target specific tumor types, adapt to changes in the cell microenvironment and offer smart, personalized therapy for different cancer variants, especially those which are drug-resistant. The book provides a materials-focused look at precision cancer medicine, and is thus useful to materials scientists, biomedical engineers, and biomedical scientists – including cancer and genetic specialists – with an interest in alternative cancer therapies.
