How are nanotechnology and drug delivery systems improving cancer treatment?
Nanotechnology and advanced drug delivery systems are improving cancer treatment by enhancing the targeting and efficacy of therapeutic agents. Nanoparticles can be engineered to deliver chemotherapy drugs directly to tumor cells, minimizing exposure to healthy tissues and reducing side effects. Additionally, these nanoparticles can be designed to release their payload in response to specific stimuli within the tumor microenvironment, ensuring optimal drug delivery. Liposomal formulations and antibody-drug conjugates are examples of innovative drug delivery systems that enhance the therapeutic index of anticancer agents.
