How will nanoparticles change medicine?

Targeted drug delivery is one of the big benefits of using nanoparticles in medicine because it allows drugs to be administered to very specific parts of the body that are cut off using conventional methods. Another benefit is using nanoparticles to destroy cancer cells because they would only attack the cancerous cells and leave all of the other cells intact so there would be no risk of suffering any side effects. There would be a 0% chance of damage being done to the non cancerous cells.
Another way nanoparticles could change medicine is because they could inject nanobots into your bloodstream which would speed up the healing process, destroy any cancerous/faulty cells and get rid of disease causing microorganisms before they could damage the body. Furthermore, they could patrol the body and alert the patients and doctors if there was something abnormal. Also, if there was a brain tumour then the nanoparticles could be injected then sent to the brain to eliminate the tumour with no risk of other non cancerous cells being affected. This means that a person’s quality of life would be dramatically improved as they would be at a significantly reduced risk of suffering from abnormalities in the body which also means that people could live longer with increased life expectancy.
