The challenge for the delivery of chemotherapeutic agents is a safe administration of drugswhich will only affect the cancer cells.The dose is tumor microenvironment and these doses are effective while ensuring minimum cytotoxicity. Current therapeutics has some limitations like the insufficiencyof specificity in delivery. The development of different nanoscale carriers has potential in delivering cancer therapies as well as imaging, and also overcome both tumor and systemic barriers. These nano-carriers provide specific and targeted delivery along with imaging.
