Novel Oncology Therapeutics: Targeted Drug Delivery for Cancer

Figure 2

Navigated drug delivery: the drug delivery vehicle is equipped with a “programmable navigation system” that allows the transportation of the “blind” cytotoxic agent in the correct cellular location. In the absence of the drug delivery vehicle that is tagged with navigating delivery routes, toxicity is triggered on healthy proliferating cells against the anticancer agent, and ineffective therapeutic drug concentration reaches the tumor site.
