Abstract
Conventional therapy is somewhat successful; however, they have some drawbacks such as nonspecific targeting, poor bioavailability, requirement of high doses, and poor therapeutic indices with some adverse effects. The development of vehicles for drug delivery should mainly focus on drug-related problems and delivery to the required site for therapeutic effect with less adverse effects. In this chapter, we discuss varied types of vehicles for the delivery of agents for cancer therapy and structural characteristics of these agents that are responsible for the enhancement of curative efficiency of these agents. Various challenges in cancer treatments along with recent advances in the field of chemotherapy have been emphasized in this chapter.
