Nanotechnology Based Drug Delivery System for Cancer Therapy

Harsimrat Kaur, Harsimran Kaur, Preeti Rajesh, C Rajesh

Abstract


Nanotechnology has the potential to revolutionize cancer diagnosis and therapy. Advances in protein engineering and material science have contributed to novel nanoscale targeting approaches that may bring new hope to cancer patients. Several therapeutic nanocarriers have been approved for clinical use. However, to date, there are only a few clinically approved nanocarriers that incorporate molecules to selectively bind and target cancer cells. This review examines some of the approved formulations and discusses the challenges in translating basic research to the clinic. We detail the arsenal of nanocarriers and molecules available for selective tumor targeting and emphasize the challenges in cancer treatment.
