What Are the Advantages of Using Nanotechnology in Tumor Treatment?
The primary advantages include:
Enhanced Permeability and Retention (EPR) Effect: Nanoparticles can accumulate in tumor tissues more effectively due to the leaky vasculature of tumors. Controlled Drug Release: Nanocarriers can be designed to release drugs in response to specific stimuli, such as pH or temperature changes. Improved Drug Solubility: Many anticancer drugs are hydrophobic and have poor solubility. Nanoparticles can improve their solubility and bioavailability. Multifunctionality: Nanoparticles can be engineered to carry multiple therapeutic agents, enabling combination therapy for better efficacy.
