Cancer is a difficult disease to treat, contain, and identify. There are many different ways for treating cancer such as surgery, chemotherapy, radiation and many others. These methods are effective if the cancer tumor is caught soon enough. However, these treatments are not effective enough because they do not only target the affected cells, they also affect healthy cells. There is new technology that is showing promise in detecting cancer cells along with destroying cancer cells using chemicals found in nature and man made chemicals. This new technology, which is a subcategory of nanotechnology, is less painful and targets the infected cells. Today nanoparticles are being studied and used for detecting and destroying cancer cells in mice. However there is one problem with this treatment which many researchers are trying to figure out how to solve. The problem is that the particles are so small that they are passing through healthy cells and making them mutate into cancer cells.
