Cancer is the present leading cause of death in worldwide, about 7.6 million peoples die due to cancer. There are many ways to treat cancer, but it is not effective. We need to have an efficient way to reduce the spread of cancer. Nanotechnology help to reduce, prevent and detect cancer. Nanotechnology is the study, manipulation and manufacture of small device or machine. The use of nanotechnology in cancer treatment offers some exciting possibilities, including the possibility of destroying cancer tumors with minimal damage to healthy tissue and organs, as well as the detection and elimination of cancer cells before they form tumors. The future of technology at times becomes easy to predict, but computers will compute faster, materials will become stronger and medicine will cure more diseases. The technology that works at the nanometer scale of molecules, enabling great improvements in all the fields of human presence. A variety of medical processes occur at nanometer length scales which is useful. Among the approaches for exploiting developments in nanotechnology in medicine, nanoparticles offer some unique advantages as sensing, delivery, and image enhancement agents. Several varieties of nanoparticles are available to treat many diseases including, gold nanoparticles, Nano robot etc. gold nanoparticles as ultrasensitive fluorescent probes to detect cancer biomarkers in human blood. The approach is so sensitive, and could also be employed in direct detection of viral or bacterial DNA. The nanorobotics as a wonderful vision of medicine in the future which could carry and deliver large amounts of anti-cancer drugs into cancerous cells without harming healthy cells, reducing the side effects related to current therapies like damage of the conventional chemotherapy. This paper presents a study on different approaches employed towards cancer treatments. Further, it also provides an insight into the future scope in this field of study.
