Abstract
Glioblastoma is one of the most aggressive and deadly types of cancer. The
blood-brain barrier is the biggest obstacle to overcome in glioblastoma treatment.
Nanomedicine, which describes the use of nanostructures in medicine, has significant
potential for glioblastoma. Nanomedicine provides advantages in crossing the blood-brain barrier, increasing the amount and effectiveness of drugs reaching the cancer site,
monitoring diagnosis and treatment through imaging agents, and increasing the
effectiveness of treatments in combination applications. This chapter reviews current
nanotechnology research in glioblastoma over the past few years.
