PRECISION ONCOLOGY Innovations in Diagnosis, Drug Delivery, And Patient Care

by Dr. Sanjeev Kumar, Dr. Sanjana Bhagat, Dr. Sumit Bhat, Dr. Farah Deeba

The field of oncology is undergoing a paradigm shift, moving from conventional, one-size-fitsall treatments toward personalized and targeted therapeutic strategies. This work, “PRECISION ONCOLOGY: INNOVATIONS IN DIAGNOSIS, DRUG DELIVERY, AND PATIENT CARE”, seeks to capture the essence of this transformation by exploring the scientific advancements and clinical practices that are redefining cancer care. The aim is to present a comprehensive overview of how precision approaches are shaping diagnostic accuracy, enhancing therapeutic delivery, and prioritising holistic, patient-centred outcomes. This study emphasises the integration of molecular profiling, biomarker-driven therapies, and state-of-the-art drug delivery systems that have enabled oncologists to tailor treatments to the unique genetic and clinical profiles of patients. It also highlights the growing importance of patient well-being, survivorship, and equity in access to innovative cancer care. By bridging research insights with clinical applications, the work aspires to contribute to the broader understanding of how innovations in precision oncology can transform healthcare delivery. The preparation of this work has been both a challenging and rewarding journey. It required extensive engagement with interdisciplinary literature spanning molecular biology, pharmaceutical sciences, clinical oncology, and patient-care frameworks. I hope this contribution provides useful insights to researchers, practitioners, and students interested in the evolving landscape of precision oncology. Finally, this preface reflects my aspiration to shed light on the potential of precision oncology not only as a scientific advancement but also as a patient-centric approach that holds promise for more effective, equitable, and compassionate cancer treatment in the future. Thank You Dr. Sanjeev Kumar Dr. Sanjana Bhagat Dr. Sumit Bhatt Dr. Farah Deeba

INNOVATIONS IN ORAL, INJECTABLE, AND TRANSDERMAL DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEMS

by Dr. Sumit Bhat, Dr. Mrunal Dave, Dr. Suyash Pratap Singh, Dr. S. Shruti

The field of drug delivery has witnessed remarkable transformations over the past few decades, moving beyond traditional formulations toward highly sophisticated, targeted, and patientfriendly systems. Our book, Innovations in Oral, Injectable, and Transdermal Drug Delivery Systems, aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the latest advancements, technologies, and scientific principles that are shaping the future of therapeutic delivery. We have structured the text to bridge the gap between fundamental pharmaceutical science and applied innovation. Each section explores the evolution, design strategies, and functional mechanisms of major drug delivery routes—oral, injectable, and transdermal—while emphasizing their unique challenges and emerging solutions. Special attention has been given to biocompatible materials, nanotechnology-based systems, controlled release mechanisms, and the integration of digital and smart delivery technologies. This book is intended for students, researchers, academicians, and professionals in the fields of pharmaceutics, biomedical engineering, and healthcare innovation. It serves both as a reference and as a guide to understanding how modern pharmaceutical science is revolutionizing therapeutic efficacy, patient compliance, and sustainability in healthcare systems. It is our sincere hope that this book will inspire further inquiry, research, and innovation among readers and contribute meaningfully to the ongoing evolution of drug delivery science.
