Deepak 5 1,2,3,4,5 Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering 1,2,3,4,5 Saveetha School of Engineering, Saveetha University, Chennai, India Abstract— the credential part of the paper reviews about the advanced methods for the treatment of cancer using nano devices and nano technology technique. The advanced technology which could be the best to treat cancer is the treatment using nano-technology the molecular scale properties and the interface between the chemical, biological and the physical sciences are the important concerns of nano-technology. The application in the treatment of cancer using nano- technology is promising more than the ordinary treatments. This paper also proposes the use of nano-robots in medical field is the fast, best, and safe method for the treatment of different diseases in the human body. The main stress given in the paper is the comparison of the latest treatment in curing cancer using nano-technology. Key words: treatment of cancer, nano, Nano Particles. I. INTRODUCTION  Nano means very small.  In units of measure it has the specific sense “one billionth”. II. NANOTECHNOLOGY Nanotechnology is the study and application of extremely small things and it can be used in various fields like ‘chemistry’, ‘biology’, ‘physics’ and ‘engineering’. It is used to control every individual atoms and molecules. It is the manipulation of matter on an atomic, molecular and super molecular scale. A. Nano devices:  Nano device is nothing but a device whose scale is measured in ‘Nanometer’.  Some of Nano devices are ‘Nano robots’, ‘Nano sensors’, ‘Nano pumps’, etc. B. Nano robots: A Nano robot is a tiny machine designed to perform a specific task with precision in dimension. 1) Advantages:  Durability.  A Nano device remains same for many years, decades or centuries. 2) Source of power for the Nano robot: The nuclear power is carried onboard to supply required amount of energy for the operation of the device. This would be relatively easy to shield given the amount of fuel involved, and it has other advantages as well. The same radioactive material could be used for power and tracking, since the casing must be hotter than body temperature to produce power and there would be no worries about running out of power, or insufficient power to get the job done. At the micro scale, shielding and power conversion are relatively easy, making this method extremely practical. III. CURES OF CANCER USING NANOTECHNOLOGY A. Using Nano Particles: Nano particles help us to identify the cancer cells. The nano particle used here is ‘Polymeric Nanoparticle’. These nanoparticles are stuffed with even small particles of semiconductors and therefore after filling these nanoparticles it starts to shine with different colors depending upon the molecules we attach. The nanoparticles glows in Red(R), Yellow(Y), Blue(B). When the nanoparticles begin to glow we can track the movements of the light ray and can range the molecules in a cancer cells under microscope. Hence these nanoparticles are used to observe the development of cancer at the molecular level, giving us a clue in how to stop or treat the cancer. B. Once the cancer is diagnosed: The most effective way is injecting drugs into the people. Once the tumor is diagnosed the drug in injected into the affected person. C. Necessary treatment: The most common treatment given today is the chemotherapy. It usually involves the combination of Toxic drugs which kills the cancer cells. D. Rebuilding of normal tissues: Once the chemotherapy is done, the cancer cells are destroying, but along with the cancer cell normal tissues are also damaged. And so we are injecting a Nano- engineering gel which helps in the re-growth of normal tissues. E. Genes Becomes Abnormal Due To Cancer: 1) During initial stage:  Immunity fails. 2) Oncogenes:  It is called cancer genes which helps the cells to double or multiply. It also helps to repair the damaged cells. 3) Tumour suppressor genes:  It stops the multiplication of cells. It stops the repair of the damaged cells. 4) DNA repair genes:  It is used to repair the other damaged cells. 5) During secondary stage:  Vast growth of tumor cells takes place.  Normal tissues started converting into tumor cell. Here we have two types of tumor growth, 6) Benign growth:  Benign is non-cancerous and it can be cured by surgical operation. 7) Malignant growth:  Malignant is a cancerous in nature.
