What are the Strategies to Improve Delivery Efficiency?
Several strategies have been developed to enhance delivery efficiency in cancer treatment:
Nanotechnology: Utilizes nanoparticles to deliver drugs directly to the tumor site, improving targeting and reducing side effects. Targeted therapy: Involves drugs designed to target specific molecules or pathways involved in cancer growth and progression. Drug conjugates: Links drugs to antibodies or other molecules that specifically bind to cancer cells, thereby enhancing delivery to the tumor. Radiation techniques: Advanced radiation delivery methods like IMRT and proton therapy focus radiation precisely on the tumor, sparing healthy tissue. Gene therapy: Involves delivering genetic material to cancer cells to induce cell death or enhance the immune response against the tumor.
