Critical reviews in therapeutic drug carrier systems

Targeted Drug Delivery to Tumors: From Traditional to New Technologies

Updated

Abstract

Novel drug delivery systems (NDDS) are highlighted as potential solutions for improving tumor management.

  • Traditional tumor therapies often face limitations that NDDS may help overcome.
  • Nanoparticle-based systems, including liposomes and polymeric nanoparticles, are under discussion for their therapeutic potential.
  • Microparticle-based systems, such as microspheres and microcapsules, also show promise in drug delivery.
  • Emerging technologies like carbon nanotubes and quantum dots could enhance targeted drug delivery and efficacy.
  • Recent innovations and patents in drug release mechanisms and site-specific targeting are explored.
  • The integration of these advancements into clinical practice may transform tumor therapy.
