Drug Delivery Systems in Cancer Therapy
A major difficulty in successfully treating cancer with drugs is achieving adequate drug concentrations in the diseased areas without overexposing drug-sensitive normal tissues. In a number of cases, specialized drug delivery systems are required to realize a therapeutic gain. In Drug Delivery Syste...
