        abstract = {One of the most significant problems facing medical research today is cancer. Even in cases of advanced and metastatic cancer, the objectives are to enhance not only the therapeutic outcome but also the treatment approaches, which frequently have significant side effects. Furthermore, it is necessary to take into account recent events including population growth, demographic shifts, and rising healthcare expenses. Most likely, nanotechnology can play a big role, especially when it comes to the application of magnetic nanoparticles made of iron, cobalt, and nickel. The drug delivery systems have the most promise since magnetic nanoparticles can be functionalized by binding to a variety of chemicals, such as radionuclides, chemotherapy drugs, nucleic acids, and antibodies.
Around the world, millions of people have died from cancer. The traditional cancer treatment methods now in use are linked to adverse side effects. This discovery led researchers to look at other therapy modalities that have a higher benefit-to-risk ratio. Nanoparticles, which range in size from 1 to 100 nm, have shown great promise as cancer treatment agents. Particularly, magnetic nanoparticles have drawn interest due to their distinct magnetic characteristics and numerous biological uses.},
