Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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. - Reviews the state-of-the-art in precision and translational medicine, setting the scene for the introduction of alternative biomaterial-based therapies - Covers a range of biomaterials for personalized cancer treatment, including polymer-protein conjugates, smart nanoparticles, metal compounds, and more - Addresses preclinical assessment, health risks, challenges and future perspective of precision anti-cancer biomaterials
