“…Currently, QDs are still under investigation for their potential cytotoxic profiles. To minimize toxicity, QDs can be incorporated into nontoxic carriers such as dendrimers and liposomes [170, 171]. Despite their potential hazardous side effects, QDs hold a great promise for the future of brain cancer treatment.…”

Nanomedicine is a rapidly evolving form of therapy that holds a great promise in superior drug delivery efficiency and therapeutic efficacy than conventional cancer treatment. In this review, we attempt to cover the benefits and the limitations of current nanomedicines with special attention to covalent nanoconjugates for imaging and drug delivery in brain. The improvement in brain tumor treatment remains dismal despite decades of efforts in drug development and patient care. One of the major obstacles in brain cancer treatment is the poor drug delivery efficiency owing to the unique blood-brain-barrier (BBB) in the CNS. Although various anti-cancer agents are available to treat tumors outside of the CNS, the majority fails to cross the BBB. In this regard, nanomedicines have increasingly drawn attention due to their multi-functionality and versatility. Nano-drugs can penetrate BBB and other biological barriers, and selectively accumulate in tumor cells, while concurrently decreasing systemic toxicity.

“…However, the microscopic size (usually <10 nm) of quantum dots can overcome this challenge, making it an ideal agent for imaging of brain tumours. [54][55][56][57] Bai et al 55 demonstrated that quantum dots have promising potential for in vivo brain imaging due to the small size and narrow emission spectra. Quantum dots have also been combined with nanoparticles to enhance image-guided brain tumour excision procedures.…”

Background:Research in the applications of the principles of quantum physics in oncology has progressed significantly over the past decades; and several research groups with professionals from diverse scientific background, including electrical engineers, mathematicians, biologists, atomic physicists, computer programmers, and biochemists, are working collaboratively in an unprecedented and pioneering economic, organisational and human effort searching for a wider and more effective, potentially definitive, understanding of the cancers. It is hypothesised that the principles of quantum physics could open new and broader understanding of the cancers and the development of new effective, targeted, accurate, personalised and possibly definitive cancer treatment.Materials and methods:This paper reports on a review of recent studies in the field of the applications of the principles of quantum physics in biology, chemistry, biochemistry and quantum physics in cancer research, including quantum physics principles and cancer, quantum modelling techniques, quantum dots and its applications in oncology, quantum cascade laser histopathology and quantum computing applications.Conclusions:The applications of the principles of quantum physics in oncology, chemistry and biology are providing new perspectives and greater insights into a long-studied disease, which could result in a greater understanding of the cancers and the potential for personalised and definitive treatment methods.
