Abstract

Recent developments in nanotechnology have provided new tools for both cancer imaging and treatment. The functionalization of the nanocarrier based drugs using biological ligands allows increasing specificity of drug targeting enhancing efficacy and reducing side effects. In this paper some current nanocarrier based drugs are described and the principles for their functionalization in cancer treatment and imaging are reviewed.
