Abstract

Nanoparticles are attractive agents for cancer therapy because of two unique properties. First is their ability to accumulate in tumor tissue. This is due in part to their unique pharmacokinetics allowing minimal renal filtration and evading uptake by the reticuloendothelial system. Second is their high surface-to-volume ratios for carrying various sensors, therapeutics and targeting species for passive or active targeting of cancer cells.
