ABSTRACT
For cancer treatment,nanotechnology has been extensively studied and exploited and in a drug
delivery system it plays a significant role.To treat various cancers nanotechnology has been
actively integrated as drug carriers. Nanotechnology is considered to be an emerging,
disruptive technology that will retain a crucial impact in all industrial sectors. The
investigation is recently started on the role of nanoparticles in immunotherapy which plays a
most important role in cancer treatment. So nanocarriers have been increasingly used in drug
delivery. By using nanoparticles, the off-target effects of such drugs can be improved, and
also the cancer patients may have new hope. Utilizing nanoparticles to improve the
therapeutic effect of chemotherapeutic drugs for enhancing the specificity and prolonging the
circulation of life of drugs. By administrating nanoparticles, they show increasing in
proliferation in tumour tissues near the blood vessels, enhancing both anticancer drug
permeability and tumour retention. Compared to conventional drugs and nanoparticles-based
drug delivery has certain benefits such as improved stability and biocompatibility, enhanced
permeability, and retention effect. Nanoparticles applied to drug delivery systems include
organic nanoparticles, inorganic nanoparticles, and hybrid nanoparticles. For cancer therapies,
several nanocarriers are approved for clinical use and many novel formulations are in the later
stages of clinical trials. The preclinical and clinical trials are evaluated for several nano-drug delivery systems designed for tumour targeting and they show reasonable outcomes in cancer
tumour clinical management.
