Thesis Abstract

Abstract
Cancer remains one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide, with existing treatment modalities posing significant challenges due to their nonspecificity and associated side effects. In an effort to address these limitations, this research project focuses on the development of novel drug delivery systems for targeted cancer therapy. The primary objective is to enhance the efficacy and reduce the toxicity of anticancer drugs by delivering them specifically to cancer cells while sparing healthy tissues. The study begins with an in-depth investigation into the background of cancer therapy, highlighting the current challenges faced in the field and the need for innovative drug delivery approaches. A comprehensive literature review is conducted to explore existing drug delivery systems, their mechanisms of action, and their impact on cancer treatment outcomes. The review also examines recent advancements in nanotechnology, biomaterials, and targeted drug delivery strategies that have shown promise in improving the specificity and effectiveness of cancer therapies. The research methodology section outlines the experimental design and methodologies employed in the development and evaluation of the novel drug delivery systems. Key aspects such as formulation preparation, characterization techniques, in vitro and in vivo studies, and data analysis methods are described in detail. The study utilizes various analytical tools and techniques to assess the physicochemical properties, stability, and targeting efficiency of the developed drug delivery systems. The findings section presents a detailed discussion of the experimental results, including the formulation optimization, drug release kinetics, cellular uptake studies, and in vivo therapeutic efficacy of the novel drug delivery systems. The data analysis reveals a significant enhancement in the targeted delivery of anticancer drugs to cancer cells, resulting in improved therapeutic outcomes and reduced off-target effects. The discussion also highlights the potential clinical implications and future directions for further research in this area. In conclusion, the development of novel drug delivery systems for targeted cancer therapy represents a promising approach to overcome the limitations of current cancer treatments. The study demonstrates the feasibility and effectiveness of targeted drug delivery in improving the selectivity and efficacy of anticancer therapies. The findings of this research have significant implications for the advancement of precision medicine and personalized cancer therapy, ultimately contributing to improved patient outcomes and quality of life.
