Abstract

Cancer has complex pathological mechanisms and is one of the leading diseases causing death. Traditional treatments (such as radiotherapy, chemotherapy and immunotherapy) have the limitations of low specificity and high cytotoxicity. As one of the emerging methods for cancer treatment, nano targeted drug delivery technology provides new options and prospects for cancer treatment. Nanoparticles (NPs) have higher specificity and can deliver drugs to the target site more efficiently. NPs have two modes of action on the tumor region: active targeting and passive targeting. Drug-delivery nanocarriers can also be classified into various types, organic nanocarriers and inorganic nanocarriers, which have been more extensively studied in cancer therapy. This research discusses the different delivery modes of nanodrugs in cancer therapy and a discussion of the different types of nanocarriers.
