DEVELOPING A NOVEL DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEM FOR TARGETING CANCER CELLS

Abstract

Nowadays, surgically excising the tumor bulk is the main goal of most cancer treatment regimens. Examples of physical and chemically based treatments that have considerably inhibited the proliferation of cancerous cells include radiation therapy and chemotherapy. Furthermore, quality of life is diminished by these medicinal techniques' significant side effects and increasing toxicity. In order to enhance prognosis, this review addresses new methods for more efficiently administering chemotherapy.  Nowadays, there is a lot of activity in the field of cancer therapy, and significant advancements are being made in the creation of novel cancer medications.New techniques such as ligand or receptor-based targeting, triggered release, intracellular drug targeting, gene delivery, cancer stem cell therapy, magnetic drug targeting, and ultrasound-mediated drug delivery stand in contrast to conventional cancer treatments. These techniques have made it possible to identify and eradicate cancer cells precisely while causing negligible or no adverse effects.Using influx transportation to deliver medications to cancer cells at specific locations and minimizing or eradicating multi-drug resistance are essential elements of the cancer therapy approach.
