Cancer Therapy Based on Nanomaterials and Nanocarrier Systems

Cancer Therapy Based on Nanomaterials and Nanocarrier Systems

Targeted delivery of drug molecules to tumor tissue is one of the most interesting and challenging endeavors faced in pharmaceutical field, due to the critical and pharmacokinetically specific environment that exists in tumor. Over these years, cancer targeting treatment has been greatly improved by...
