Cancer represents a significant societal, public health, and economic challenge. Conventional chemotherapy is based on systemic administration; however, it has current limitations, including poor bioavailability, high-dose requirements, adverse side effects, low therapeutic indices, the development of multiple drug resistance. These factors underscore need for innovative strategies to enhance delivery directly tumours. However, local treatment also presents challenges, penetration through endothelial layers, tissue density in tumour microenvironment, interstitial fluid pressure, physiological conditions within tumour, permanence at site action. Nanotechnology promising alternative addressing these challenges. This narrative review elucidates potential nanostructured formulations cancer treatment, providing illustrative examples an analysis advantages challenges associated with this approach.
