The Combination of Cutting-edge Strategies in Nano-delivery Systems to Overcome Drawbacks for Malignant Tumor Treatment

The advent of nanoparticle technology has transformed oncology therapeutics through its capacity for accurate drug delivery and regulated pharmaceutical release, boosting treatment effectiveness while minimizing adverse reactions. Various nanostructures, including polymeric carriers, liposomal formulations, and metal-based nanoparticles, can be engineered with tumor-specific targeting molecules to facilitate cellular uptake in malignant cells. Despite these advancements, issues such as production scalability, potential chronic toxicity, and regulatory approval processes still need to be addressed. Viral nanoparticles and virus-like particles (VLPs) represent innovative tools in nanotechnology and biomedicine, offering exceptional potential for targeted therapies, immune modulation, and diagnostic applications. Their natural biocompatibility, precise structural organization, and capacity for surface modification make them highly suitable for developing strategies to treat malignant tumors. Alongside VLP development, other approaches have also been investigated, such as magnetic hyperthermia, where magnetic nanoparticles are used to generate localized heat under an external magnetic field, selectively destroying cancer cells while sparing healthy tissue. This paper presents a brief review of nanocarriers in drug delivery systems and discusses the integration of nanoparticles, viral nanoparticles, and VLPs. Additionally, we explore the challenges and propose cutting-edge solutions, offering a forward-looking perspective on how the combination of these advanced technologies could transform oncology.
