Nanotechnology Applications in Targeted Drug Delivery for Cancer Therapy
Author(s): Vijay Malhotra*
Nanotechnology has emerged as a promising approach for improving cancer therapy by enhancing drug delivery precision, reducing systemic
toxicity and overcoming drug resistance. In this review, we explore the applications of nanotechnology in targeted drug delivery for cancer therapy.
Nanoparticles, liposomes, micelles and other nanostructures offer unique properties, such as tunable size, surface functionalization and sustained
release kinetics, which enable targeted delivery of anticancer agents to tumor sites while minimizing off-target effects. By encapsulating drugs
within nanocarriers and incorporating targeting ligands, stimuli-responsive materials and imaging agents, nanotechnology facilitates site-specific
drug delivery, controlled release and real-time monitoring of therapeutic responses. Despite challenges in clinical translation and scale-up,
