Cancer and Polymeric-Carriers

Abstract

ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Advances in medicine and pharmacy have saved many lives from death. Researchers and scientists around the world have made great strides with their findings, not only improving public knowledge with their findings but also keeping hope alive in the hearts of some people with incurable diseases. Various sciences accompanied medicine and pharmacy in this development, one of which is polymer engineering. Polymers due to amazing properties can be used as prostheses, drug carriers, gene delivery, etc. Polymers are unique candidates for the release of anticancer drugs. Non-toxicity, and biodegradability are important features of a carrier. This study summarizes cancer statistics and introduces several polymer-carriers.
