From the past decade, researchers have seen the potential application of nanotechnology in the field of cancer targeted drug delivery. Nanoparticle based chemical moieties such as polymeric based nanoparticles, dendrimers, polymersomes, liposomes, nanomicelles, metal nanoparticles, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) ,etc. Due to their exclusive properties such as tunable surface chemistry, ability to penetrate cells, stimuli-sensitization they could be designed as per the targeted tissue or cells of the tumor. This review provides an insight into development of nanomedicine with the help of different nanocarriers for cancer/tumor targeted drug delivery. But apart from having desired flexibility in development of nanocarrier based drug compound, it has some drawbacks/challenges. The review will also discuss the same.
