Advances in targeted therapy for tumor with nanocarriers: A review

The application of Nanocarriers (NCs) provides a promising strategy to solve the problems faced by traditional chemotherapy drugs, like the imprecise delivery, poor bioavailability, high dose requirement, and the tendency to develop multidrug resistance. With the protection of NCs, chemotherapy drugs can reach the lesion site and then release accurately and completely. Although some reviews have summarized the biological applications of NCs, little attention has been given to the advantages and disadvantages of analyzing organic, inorganic, and hybrid NCs separately for targeted therapy and identifying means to further improve the targeting ability. First, in this review, we emphasize three factors that have a…
