Cancer has a high rate of incidence and mortality throughout the world. Although several conventional approaches have been developed for treatment cancer, such as surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy thermal therapy, they remarkable disadvantages which result in inefficient cancer. For example, immunogenicity, prolonged treatment, non-specificity, metastasis cost are considered major drawbacks chemotherapy. Therefore, there is fundamental requirement development breakthrough technologies cancer suppression. Polysaccharide-based drug delivery systems (DDSs) most reliable carriers therapy. Polysaccharides, kind practical biomaterials, divided into types, including chitosan, alginates, dextran, hyaluronic acid, cyclodextrin, pectin, etc. Polysaccharides extracted from different natural resources (like herbal, marine, microorganisms, etc.). The potential features polysaccharides made them candidates therapeutics to sites; simple purification, ease modification functionalization, hydrophilicity, serum stability, appropriate loading capacity, biocompatibility, bioavailability, biodegradability stimuli-responsive sustained release manner considerable aspects these biopolymers. This review highlights applications polysaccharides-based DDSs pharmaceutical science
