Innovative Targeting Strategies in Breast Cancer Therapy is a comprehensive reference addressing the challenge of non-specific drug distribution in the body, along with severe toxicity and adverse effects, by offering insights into targeted breast cancer treatment. It further educates researchers on formulating and developing novel carriers with target-specific attributes (such as targeted liposomes, nanoparticles, micelles, and dendrimers), contributing to a more refined approach to breast cancer. This book's content is presented in 12 chapters. The first chapters introduces the reader to the different breast cancer therapies followed by indepth information on targeting . Recognizing the need for targeted drug delivery in breast cancer treatment, this book presents an encompassing compilation of advanced research and formulation strategies. By focusing on effectively targeting cancer cells, the book mitigates dose-related toxicity associated with cytotoxic drugs, providing a comprehensive resource for improved treatment approaches. Research in oncology, pharmacology, medical researchers, biomedical engineers and clinical professionals will find this an essential reference.
