Abstract

The discovery of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) has revolutionized an engineer’s approach to design. CNTs measuring on the
nanometer scale have found extraordinary applications in the field of nanotechnology due to their novel properties. CNTs
have found varied applications in the field of medicine as drug delivery carriers, biosensors, and artificial implants. CNT
has also been efficiently used in genetic engineering. CNTs have grown to be a popular tool and proved to be a promising
nanomaterial for cancer diagnosis and treatment. In this article, the varied applications of CNT in health care are extensively
reviewed.
