Directly targeting cancer cells and bypassing chemotherapy

It's 2007 and the still-predominant way of fighting many types of cancer involves toxic chemotherapy that weakens the body while trying to destroy cancer cells.
Although a better way of cancer treatment has been on the minds of oncologists for decades, the mapping of the human genome recently and the
prevalence of nanotechnology is starting to create possible solutions to health problems that are about as cutting edge as they come.
What would it mean to deliver anti-cancer drugs directly to cancer cells without polluting the human body at the same time? That kind of breakthrough is on the minds of an Australian biotechnology firm, which says it can do just that.
The process involved nanotechnology processes that almost sounds like science fiction. The truth is, though -- it is all too real. And, it will get better in the next few decades I'll bet.
