Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advanced Drug Delivery Systems in the Management of Cancer discusses recent developments in nanomedicine and nano-based drug delivery systems used in the treatment of cancers affecting the blood, lungs, brain, and kidneys. The research presented in this book includes international collaborations in the area of novel drug delivery for the treatment of cancer. Cancer therapy remains one of the greatest challenges in modern medicine, as successful treatment requires the elimination of malignant cells that are closely related to normal cells within the body. Advanced drug delivery systems are carriers for a wide range of pharmacotherapies used in many applications, including cancer treatment. The use of such carrier systems in cancer treatment is growing rapidly as they help overcome the limitations associated with conventional drug delivery systems. Some of the conventional limitations that these advanced drug delivery systems help overcome include nonspecific targeting, systemic toxicity, poor oral bioavailability, reduced efficacy, and low therapeutic index. This book begins with a brief introduction to cancer biology. This is followed by an overview of the current landscape in pharmacotherapy for the cancer management. The need for advanced drug delivery systems in oncology and cancer treatment is established, and the systems that can be used for several specific cancers are discussed. Several chapters of the book are devoted to discussing the latest technologies and advances in nanotechnology. These include practical solutions on how to design a more effective nanocarrier for the drugs used in cancer therapeutics. Each chapter is written with the goal of informing readers about the latest advancements in drug delivery system technologies while reinforcing understanding through various detailed tables, figures, and illustrations. Advanced Drug Delivery Systems in the Management of Cancer is a valuable resource for anyone working in the fields of cancer biology and drug delivery, whether in academia, research, or industry. The book will be especially useful for researchers in drug formulation and drug delivery as well as for biological and translational researchers working in the field of cancer. - Presents an overview of the recent perspectives and challenges within the management and diagnosis of cancer - Provides insights into how advanced drug delivery systems can effectively be used in the management of a wide range of cancers - Includes up-to-date information on diagnostic methods and treatment strategies using controlled drug delivery systems

Download or read book Evolution of Phytochemicals and Phytotherapies in the Treatment and Management of Cancer Targeted Strategies in Cancer Precision Medicine written by Mohd Adnan and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2023-11-24 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a rising recurrence of cancers in humans and related complications of chemotherapeutic agents that reduce the clinical potency of numerous anticancer agents, including those which are currently in use. Hence, there is a consistent need for the development of alternative or synergistic anticancer drugs with lower side complications. One imperative approach to develop novel anticancer agents with potent efficiency is to discover natural resource-derived bioactive compounds. Diverse phytochemical constituents (like vincristine, vinblastine, taxol analogs etc.) derived from plants have been manifested as effective therapeutics in the treatment, prevention and management of cancer. Therefore, phytochemical constituents aid as prime source and candidates for the discovery of anticancer drugs, particularly when they are screened against their molecular targets via various approaches. Plants are predicted to have innumerable functional phytochemical constituents with potent features, which can be explored via in silico, in vitro as well as in vivo approaches for targeted cancer therapy and the most suitable cascade can be identified. Therefore, this research topic aims to cover the current trends and advancements in phytotherapies with an emphasis on targeted strategies in cancer precision medicine.
