Oral cancer is one of the most threatening diseases impairing the quality of life of the patient. Though many strategies are being employed for treatment of oral cancer, the eventual goal to cure cancer still remains elusive. Various drug delivery systems have been practiced to achieve better success in improving the survival rate of the patient. Until date, targeted drug delivery systems via nanoparticles are expected to be promising multi-functional platform in cancer therapeutics. The present article is a brief review of unique properties of nanoparticles and various nano drug delivery systems in oral cancer therapy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
