Thesis Abstract

Abstract
The treatment of cancer has been a significant challenge in the field of medicine due to the complexity and heterogeneity of cancer cells. One promising approach to improve cancer therapy is the development of novel drug delivery systems that can specifically target cancer cells while minimizing off-target effects. This thesis focuses on the design and evaluation of a novel drug delivery system for targeting cancer cells, with the aim of enhancing the efficacy and safety of cancer treatment. The introduction provides a comprehensive overview of the background of the study, highlighting the current challenges in cancer therapy and the need for targeted drug delivery systems. The problem statement underscores the limitations of existing cancer treatments and the potential benefits of a targeted drug delivery approach. The objectives of the study are outlined to guide the research process, while the limitations and scope of the study are defined to provide a clear framework for the research. The literature review in Chapter Two critically evaluates existing research on drug delivery systems for cancer therapy. Key aspects such as the types of drug delivery systems, targeting mechanisms, and therapeutic agents are analyzed to identify gaps in the current knowledge and inform the design of the novel drug delivery system. Chapter Three details the research methodology employed in this study, including the selection of materials, formulation of the drug delivery system, in vitro and in vivo evaluation methods, and data analysis techniques. The experimental setup and procedures are described to ensure the reproducibility and reliability of the results. Chapter Four presents a comprehensive discussion of the findings from the study, including the characterization of the developed drug delivery system, its targeting efficiency, cytotoxicity profile, and potential for clinical translation. The results are interpreted in the context of existing literature to highlight the innovative aspects of the novel drug delivery system. Finally, Chapter Five provides a summary of the key findings and conclusions of the study. The significance of the developed drug delivery system in advancing cancer therapy is emphasized, along with recommendations for future research directions. Overall, this thesis contributes to the growing body of knowledge on targeted drug delivery systems for cancer treatment, with the potential to improve patient outcomes and quality of life.
