    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Pharmacology
    • Biotechnology

    Background:

    • Chemotherapy lacks specificity, affecting healthy cells and leading to side effects.
    • Targeted drug delivery aims to improve therapeutic agent concentration at tumor sites.
    • Overcoming pharmacological sanctuaries like the central nervous system remains a challenge.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review recent advancements in cancer drug delivery.
    • To explore novel strategies for targeted chemotherapy.
    • To discuss the potential of new technologies in improving cancer treatment.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of emerging technologies in targeted drug delivery.
    • Discussion of monoclonal antibodies as targeting agents.
    • Exploration of carrier systems like liposomes and polymers.
