How Has Biomedical Engineering Improved Cancer Treatment?
Biomedical engineering has led to the creation of more effective and less invasive treatment options for cancer patients. For example, the development of nanoparticles for targeted drug delivery allows for higher concentrations of chemotherapeutic agents to reach the tumor site, minimizing damage to healthy tissues. Additionally, advancements in radiotherapy equipment have enabled more precise targeting of tumors, reducing side effects and improving outcomes.
