Fundamentals of Nanocarriers and Probiotics in the Treatment of Cervical Cancer | Bentham Science

摘要

Cancer is a pivotal disease, which is a serious concern towards scientific research.In the recent era of scientific discovery and innovation, probiotics have been proposedas a new preventive and therapeutic option in therapy and to control cancer growth.Probiotics may thus offer a new way in research to investigate active compounds in differentprobiotic strains having anticancer features. Studies in laboratory animals and cell lineswith respect to cancer treatments are encouraging. With rare conventional treatments, theneed for new alternatives as the transportation of chemotherapeutic agents by nanocarriersusing nanotechnology is one such approach. This review considers various drug deliverysystems used in the therapy of cervical cancer, such as dendrimers, liposomes and nanoparticles.These drug delivery systems assist in the improvement of pharmacological activity,solubility, bioavailability and, thus, facilitating new innovative therapeutic technologies.This review summarizes the application of nanotechnology and probiotics in the treatmentof cervical cancer.
