Abstract

The advent of nanotechnology in medicine has heralded innovative avenues for targeted cancer treatment. This manuscript investigates the potential of nanobots—microscopic, programmable devices—for precise drug targeting in oncology. We review the evolution of nanobot applications, the theoretical underpinnings, and emerging experimental findings up to 2022. A structured methodology outlines the design of in vitro experiments, accompanied by statistical analyses and survey data collected from oncology researchers and clinicians. Our results demonstrate that nanobots can achieve enhanced drug delivery specificity, reduced systemic toxicity, and improved therapeutic outcomes. The manuscript concludes by emphasizing the potential integration of nanobot technology in clinical oncology and highlights the need for further research on long-term biocompatibility and regulatory pathways.
