What Strategies Are Being Developed to Overcome This Challenge?
Several strategies are being explored to overcome the issue of limited penetration depth: 1. Nanoparticles: Designed to improve drug delivery and imaging contrast. 2. Enhanced Permeability and Retention (EPR) Effect: Leveraging the unique properties of tumor vasculature to enhance drug accumulation. 3. Targeted Therapies: Using antibodies or ligands to direct therapeutic agents specifically to cancer cells, improving penetration and uptake. 4. Combination Therapies: Combining different treatment modalities to achieve better penetration and therapeutic outcomes.
