ABSTRACT
Nanomedicine has transformed medication delivery, especially for life-threatening disorders. Nanomedicine’s targeted drug delivery systems (TDDS) and nanoparticle technologies for improved treatment are covered in this article. Nanotechnology delivers drugs precisely via passive and active targeting, minimising systemic toxicity and enhancing therapeutic results. Liposomes and polymeric nanoparticles are reviewed for cancer treatment. TDDS is promising but presents toxicity, scalability, and clinical translation issues. Future directions emphasise bioinspired nanotechnologies and personalised therapy to overcome these obstacles.
