Liposomal drug delivery system as an effective treatment approach for lung cancer

摘要

Worldwide, cancer is one of the leading causes of mortality and cancer rates are set to increase at alarming rate globally. There are various types of cancer in which the leading type is the lung cancer. In recent years lipid-based carriers, such as liposomes, have successfully encapsulated chemotherapeutic agents ameliorating some toxicity issues, while enhancing the overall therapeutic activity in cancer patients. In addition to this, nanomaterials can help to improved half-life in the body, morphology, for increased drug loading and many other ways. The survey discussed in this review will lead the anticancer therapy and cancer management which will provide the platform to the next generation. Therefore, this critical review includes the therapeutic interventions, liposomes target delivery, active and passive drug loading. Finally, we attempt to?summarize the current challenges in nanotherapeutics and provide an outlook on the future of this important field.
