“…However, the surrounding healthy cells also get affected. The key problem with these radio and chemotherapies is not that the drugs are not effective, but that the rest of the body cannot tolerate the high drug concentration [19]. Some infections by carcinogenic viruses can be prevented by vaccines (such as human papillomavirus vaccine [20,21] which prevents cervical cancer, the most common one among Indian women), but there are still many types of cancers affecting trillions of people which cannot be easily cured.…”

Cancer is one of the deadliest diseases of this century. Tedious and painful radiation therapy and chemotherapy are administered using many drugs including antitumor antibiotics, which cause a lot of side effects. As an alternate, DNA nanorobots serve as a potential cancer treatment technique which is very much safer than other therapies and acts specifically as well. DNA nanobots are said to set a new milestone in the development of medical studies. The primary objective of this bot is to target and eliminate cancer cells from the human body. These bots are made of a single strand of DNA folded into the desired shape. The bots will have two states -an "off" position, where the clamshells are closed tightly to bypass healthy cells without any damage and an "on" position, where the clamshell opens up to expose cancerous cells to the drug so that the drug can do its job to eliminate the cancer cell. This novel idea will be actively used within the public when it passes its first human trial. In this review, we focus on eliminating cancer cells. Since the bot can be programmed and is capable enough to carry a payload, it can also be used to cure any other diseases as a secondary target. Creation of nanobots has been under progress already and may come within the public after an estimated time of 5 years.

“…Thus, effective pervasive analyses can eliminate the risk to detect cancer only in advanced stages. Using medical Nanorobotics, integrated nanoelectronics, and wireless system, as an optimal solution for cancer detection and diagnosis, can help save lives through more precise cellular malignant tissues identification [3]. Fig 1 shows Nanorobot attacking the cancer cell.…”

This paper reports a design and fabrication of a functional nano robot “Sootha Vennai Parpamcutâvanai – Parpam – SVP” of 150-200 nm size which behaves more or less like a human physician in nano form inside the body. This nanorobot is a medicine which has artificial intelligence i.e. the distinguishing ability, decision making ability and some basic behavioral properties such as target detection ability, self-propelling capability and handling the infection in the case of breast cancer. This nanorobot can also aid in cancer therapy, site-specific or target drug delivery, and tissue repair.
