Physical Properties of Nanoparticles That Result in Improved Cancer Targeting

Figure 3

Effect of varying the NPs size on tissue biodistribution of patient with breast cancer. A 100 nm NPs mostly distribute in the liver, spleen, and kidney, and traces could be found in the breast, whereas, for 20 nm NPs, they mostly distribute in the kidney, spleen, and liver; a moderate amount is able to reach the breast tumor and traces were found in the brain.
