Advances in cancer theranostics using organic-inorganic hybrid nanotechnology

A series of barriers including poor drug solubility, stability, biocompatibility, bioavailability and pharmacokinetics, distribution to normal tissues, hemorheological flow limitations, multidrug resistance (MDR), and metastasis compromise cancer therapeutic effects. Nanotechnologies provide potential solutions to address these problems by taking advantage of distinct mechanisms of action of multiple therapeutics/modalities. In this regard,...
