Nanoparticles: the next big thing in cancer therapy?

Abstract:
Most methods for treating cancer are so debilitating and risky that thousands of people every year choose to forgo treatment altogether. Others suffer through an array of terrible side effects in hope of being cured.

It comes as no surprise that the next step in cancer treatment is a more focused approach....

Currently my mother (75 yrs old)has colon cancer and has gone through her 3rd of twelve treatments of chemo therapy. It has brought her down so low that we have asked the doctor to wait before going through the next treatment. I watched my dad in 1979 die going through chemo and cobalt for bone marrow cancer. There has got to be a better way than killing the person to cure cancer. I would think to build up the immune system so that it can fight this disease off would be much better. To eat the right foods, vitamins and herbs and exercise which most of the cancer patients have never done before they got cancer.
As long as we have studied this and still are burning the body up to get rid of the cancer cells killing the body in return sounds ludicrous to me.
