Bio-vehicles of cytotoxic drugs for delivery to tumor specific targets for cancer precision therapy

Abnormal structural and molecular changes in malignant tissues were thoroughly investigated and utilized to target tumor cells, hence rescuing normal healthy tissues and lowering the unwanted side effects as non-specific cytotoxicity. Various ligands for cancer cell specific markers have been uncove...
