The Application of Inorganic Nanoparticles in Molecular Targeted Cancer Therapy: EGFR Targeting

Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is an anticancer drug target for a number of cancers, such as non-small cell lung cancer. However, unsatisfying treatment effects, terrible side-effects, and development of drug resistance are current insurmountable challenges of EGFR targeting treatments for cancers. With the advancement of nanotechnology, an increasing number of inorganic nanomaterials are applied in EGFR-mediated therapy to improve...
