The Impact of Nanotechnology in Transforming Neuro-oncology - A Comprehensive Review
Abstract: The treatment of central nervous system (CNS) tumours, including aggressive malignancies like glioblastoma, faces significant challenges. The blood–brain barrier (BBB) blocks nearly 98% of small-molecule drugs from achieving therapeutic levels in the brain, and the heterogeneity of these tumours frequently contributes to treatment resistance and poor outcomes. Traditional approaches, including chemotherapy and radiotherapy, are hindered by systemic toxicity and inadequate drug penetration. Nanotechnology provides a promising alternative, as nanoparticles (NPs) …
