Abstract
Drug delivery to solid tumors has received much attention in order to reduce harmful side effects and improve the efficacy of treatment. Different strategies have been utilized with nanoparticle drug delivery systems, or nanomedicines, including passive and active targeting strategies, as well as the incorporation of stimuli sensitivity. Additionally, hyperthermia has been used in combination with such systems to further improve accumulation, localization, penetration, and subsequently efficacy. Localized hyperthermia within the solid tumor tissue can be applied through different mechanisms able to trigger vascular and cellular mechanisms for enhanced delivery of nanomedicines. This review covers the use of nanoparticles in drug delivery, the different methods for inducing localized hyperthermia, combination effects of hyperthermia, and successful strategies for improving the delivery of nanomedicines using hyperthermia.
