Abstract
Recent years have presented a marked progress in terms of cancer treatment and oncology. In general, nanoparticles have been extensively used in a number of applications, but magnetic behaviors of MNPs make them most promising and contrasting agent to be used as a contrasting agent in magnetic resonance imaging and other hypothermia technologies. Their properties are fully exploited when they are used as an active agent in targeted drug delivery to desired location by applying magnetic field from external side. Earlier diagnosis can be made by magnetic resonance imaging or combination of individual treatment with MRI in order to achieve specific definition and appropriate treatment regimen. The present chapter is focused on the magnetic nanoparticles and their use in targeted drug delivery via active or passive mechanism and, lastly, the therapeutic advantages during treatment. And lastly, the challenges and future prospective in nanotechnology field are also discussed in detail.
