Abstract
Pancreatic cancer is one of a lethal form of cancer every four death due to pancreatic cancer. Different therapies are available, that is, surgery and chemotherapy, but chemotherapies produce side effects due to tumor metastasis occurring in the last stage and limited outcomes. PC causes death in patients due to the most common reasons like age, genetic mutation, smoking, obesity, pancreatitis, diabetes, etc. Nanotechnology acts as a magic bullet to formulate anticancer drugs by improving their properties such as solubility, efficacy, release profile, circulation time, etc., as well as being a promising carrier for enhancing site-specific drug delivery, controlled release, and improving diagnosis in the treatment of various cancers, including PC. This chapter describes the delivery of therapeutic agents, the mechanism of nanoparticle uptake, various receptors, and the application of novel drug-delivery systems in PC, including nanoparticles, liposomes, carbon nanotubes, micelles, dendrimers, quantum dots, and patented technology available in the management of PC.
