Nanotechnology has been projected to have a significant impact on the future treatment of brain tumors. Specifically, nanoparticles have the potential to revolutionize brain tumor imaging as well as surgical and adjuvant treatments. The translation of current research in nanotechnology into clinical practice will rely on solving challenges relating to the pharmacology of nanoparticles.
