Abstract
Abstract:
Cancer is the second leading cause of death. Notwithstanding endeavors to
comprehend tumor causes and therapeutic modalities, no noteworthy advancements in
cancer therapy have been identified. Nanomedicine has drawn interest for its diagnostic
potential because of its ability to deliver therapeutic agents specifically to tumors with
little adverse effects. Nanomedicines have become prevalent in the treatment of cancer.
Here, we present four strategic suggestions for improvement in the functionality and use
of nanomedicine. (1) Smart drug selection is a prerequisite for both medicinal and commercial achievement. Allocating resources to the advancement of modular (pro)drugs
and nanocarrier design ought to consider the role of opportunistic decisions depending
on drug availability. (2) Stimuli-responsive nanomedicine for cancer therapy is being designed to release medications at particular locations precisely. (3) The cornerstone of
clinical cancer treatment is combination therapy. Nanomedicines should be included
more frequently in multimodal combination therapy regimens since they complement
pharmacological and physical co-treatments. (4) Regulation by the immune system is
transforming cancer therapy. Nanomedicines can improve the effectiveness of the immune system and control the behavior of anticancer immunity. These four approaches,
both separately and particularly in combination, will accelerate and promote the creation
of effective cancer nanomedicine treatments.
