One of its important applications is that it is used for targeting tumors using anticancer drugs. Being more stable, it has an advantage over other delivery systems like liposome. The main objectives of this review are to highlight some important aspects of magnetic microspheres as a novel drug delivery system. The review shall cover definitions, concepts, types, mechanism of targeting, evaluation and characteristics of magnetic microspheres as well as various methods and techniques used in their preparations.
