Magnetic nanoparticle (MNP)-based technologies are now often used in biological systems for therapeutic or diagnostic applications. Recent developments in nanotechnology have led to the creation of MNPs, which are appropriate for bio medical applications. Magnetic nanoparticles are a class of extremely adaptable instruments for cancer therapy because of their innate magnetic characteristics and multifunctional design. For cancer diagnosis, monitoring, and therapy, this category provides a multimodal theranostics platform. In terms of diagnosis, magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) can be used to increase the sensitivity of the platforms. Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) with high magnetic moments and surface-to-volume ratios are attractive for targeted medication delivery and cancer treatment. In this chapter, recent developments in the application of MNPs for biosensing, drug delivery control, and therapy of cancer will be provided. The field’s challenges and potential opportunities for using MNPs to enhance their properties will be considered.
