Abstract
Background and purpose: The brainstem tumour known as diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG), also known as pontine glioma, infiltrative brainstem glioma is uncommon and virtually always affects children. A pontine glioma develops in the brainstem's most vulnerable region (the "pons"), which regulates a number of vital processes like respiration and blood pressure. It is particularly challenging to treat due to its location and how it invades healthy brain tissue. The hunt for a solution is continually advancing thanks to advances in modern medicine, but the correct approach is still elusive. With a particular focus on brain tumours that are incurable or recur, research is ongoing to discover fresh, practical approaches to target particular areas of the brain. Experimental approach: To successfully complete this task, a thorough literature search was carried out in reputable databases like Google Scholar, PubMed, and ScienceDirect. Key results: The present article provides a comprehensive analysis of the notable advantages of lipid nanoparticles compared to alternative nanoparticle formulations. The article delves into the intricate realm of diverse lipid-based nanoparticulate delivery systems, which are used in Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG) which thoroughly examines preclinical and clinical studies, providing a comprehensive analysis of the effectiveness and potential of lipid nanoparticles in driving therapeutic advancements for DIPG. Conclusion: There is strong clinical data to support the promising method of using lipid-based nanoparticulate drug delivery for brain cancer treatment, which shows improved outcomes.
