Project Abstract

Abstract
Cancer remains a significant global health concern, with conventional treatments often associated with adverse effects due to their non-specific targeting. The development and evaluation of novel drug delivery systems for targeted cancer therapy have emerged as a promising approach to enhance the efficacy and reduce the side effects of anticancer drugs. This research project focuses on investigating the design, development, and evaluation of innovative drug delivery systems tailored for targeted cancer therapy. The introduction section provides an overview of the current challenges in cancer treatment and the rationale for the development of targeted drug delivery systems. The background of the study delves into the existing knowledge and gaps in drug delivery technologies for cancer therapy, highlighting the need for more precise and efficient delivery methods. The problem statement elucidates the limitations of conventional cancer treatments and underscores the urgency of developing targeted drug delivery systems to improve therapeutic outcomes. The objectives of the study aim to design and evaluate novel drug delivery systems that can selectively target cancer cells while minimizing off-target effects. The limitations of the study are acknowledged, including the complexity of cancer biology and the challenges in translating preclinical findings to clinical applications. The scope of the study delineates the specific focus on the design, development, and evaluation of drug delivery systems for targeted cancer therapy using in vitro and in vivo models. The significance of the study lies in its potential to revolutionize cancer treatment by enhancing drug efficacy, reducing systemic toxicity, and improving patient outcomes. The structure of the research outlines the organization of the subsequent chapters, including the literature review, research methodology, discussion of findings, and conclusion. The literature review chapter critically examines existing research on drug delivery systems for targeted cancer therapy, highlighting key advancements, challenges, and opportunities in the field. The comprehensive review covers various types of drug delivery systems, such as nanoparticles, liposomes, and polymer-based carriers, emphasizing their potential applications in cancer treatment. The research methodology chapter details the experimental approaches, materials, and techniques employed in designing and evaluating novel drug delivery systems for targeted cancer therapy. Key aspects include formulation development, drug loading, characterization, in vitro cell studies, and in vivo animal models to assess the efficacy and safety of the delivery systems. The discussion of findings chapter presents a detailed analysis of the results obtained from the experimental studies, elucidating the performance, targeting efficiency, and cytotoxicity of the developed drug delivery systems. The findings are contextualized within the broader landscape of targeted cancer therapy, highlighting their implications for future research and clinical translation. In conclusion, this research project underscores the importance of developing innovative drug delivery systems for targeted cancer therapy to address the limitations of conventional treatments. The findings contribute to advancing the field of cancer drug delivery by providing insights into the design, development, and evaluation of efficient and targeted delivery systems. Overall, this research aims to pave the way for the translation of novel drug delivery technologies into clinical practice, offering new avenues for improving cancer treatment outcomes and patient quality of life.
