Advanced Drug Delivery Systems in the Management of Cancer
discusses recent developments in nanomedicine and nano-based drug
delivery systems used in the treatment of cancers affecting the
blood, lungs, brain, and kidneys. The research presented in this
book includes international collaborations in the area of novel
drug delivery for the treatment of cancer. Cancer therapy remains
one of the greatest challenges in modern medicine, as successful
treatment requires the elimination of malignant cells that are
closely related to normal cells within the body. Advanced drug
delivery systems are carriers for a wide range of pharmacotherapies
used in many applications, including cancer treatment. The use of
such carrier systems in cancer treatment is growing rapidly as they
help overcome the limitations associated with conventional drug
delivery systems. Some of the conventional limitations that these
advanced drug delivery systems help overcome include nonspecific
targeting, systemic toxicity, poor oral bioavailability, reduced
efficacy, and low therapeutic index. This book begins with a brief
introduction to cancer biology. This is followed by an overview of
the current landscape in pharmacotherapy for the cancer management.
The need for advanced drug delivery systems in oncology and cancer
treatment is established, and the systems that can be used for
several specific cancers are discussed. Several chapters of the
book are devoted to discussing the latest technologies and advances
in nanotechnology. These include practical solutions on how to
design a more effective nanocarrier for the drugs used in cancer
therapeutics. Each chapter is written with the goal of informing
readers about the latest advancements in drug delivery system
technologies while reinforcing understanding through various
detailed tables, figures, and illustrations. Advanced Drug Delivery
Systems in the Management of Cancer is a valuable resource for
anyone working in the fields of cancer biology and drug delivery,
whether in academia, research, or industry. The book will be
especially useful for researchers in drug formulation and drug
delivery as well as for biological and translational researchers
working in the field of cancer.
