Note Editore

Advanced Drug Delivery Systems in the Management of Cancer discusses recent developments in nanomedicine and nano-based drug delivery systems used in the treatment of cancers affecting the blood, lungs, brain, and kidneys. The research presented in this book includes international collaborations in the area of novel drug delivery for the treatment of cancer. Cancer therapy remains one of the greatest challenges in modern medicine, as successful treatment requires the elimination of malignant cells that are closely related to normal cells within the body. Advanced drug delivery systems are carriers for a wide range of pharmacotherapies used in many applications, including cancer treatment. The use of such carrier systems in cancer treatment is growing rapidly as they help overcome the limitations associated with conventional drug delivery systems. Some of the conventional limitations that these advanced drug delivery systems help overcome include nonspecific targeting, systemic toxicity, poor oral bioavailability, reduced efficacy, and low therapeutic index.

This book begins with a brief introduction to cancer biology. This is followed by an overview of the current landscape in pharmacotherapy for the cancer management. The need for advanced drug delivery systems in oncology and cancer treatment is established, and the systems that can be used for several specific cancers are discussed. Several chapters of the book are devoted to discussing the latest technologies and advances in nanotechnology. These include practical solutions on how to design a more effective nanocarrier for the drugs used in cancer therapeutics. Each chapter is written with the goal of informing readers about the latest advancements in drug delivery system technologies while reinforcing understanding through various detailed tables, figures, and illustrations.

Advanced Drug Delivery Systems in the Management of Cancer is a valuable resource for anyone working in the fields of cancer biology and drug delivery, whether in academia, research, or industry. The book will be especially useful for researchers in drug formulation and drug delivery as well as for biological and translational researchers working in the field of cancer.

Kamal Dua is a Senior Lecturer, Discipline of Pharmacy, Graduate School of Health, University of Technology Sydney (UTS), has a research experience of over 12 years working in the field of drug delivery targeting inflammatory diseases and cancer. Dr. Dua is also a node leader of Drug Delivery Research in the Centre for Inflammation at Centenary Institute/UTS, where the targets identified from the research projects are pursued to develop novel formulations as the first step toward translation into clinics. Dr. Dua researches in two
complementary areas: drug delivery and immunology, specifically addressing how these disciplines can advance one another helping the community to live longer and healthier. This is evidenced by his extensive publication record in reputed journals. Dr. Dua's research interests focus on harnessing the pharmaceutical potential of modulating critical regulators such as interleukins and microRNAs and developing new and effective drug delivery formulations for the management of chronic airway diseases. Dr. Dua is also an adjunct assistant professor in the Faculty of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Alberta, Canada; Adjunct Fellow
with the NICM Health Research Institute at Western Sydney University, Australia and Honorary Research Associate with the Australia-China Relations Institute (UTS:ACRI) and Consultant at ULTI Pharmaceuticals. He also held a Conjoint Lecturer position with the School of Biomedical Sciences and Pharmacy, The University of Newcastle, Australia. He has also published more than 80 research articles in the peerreviewed international journals and authored or coauthored four books and various book chapters.
Meenu Mehta is a research scholar at the Discipline of Pharmacy, Graduate School of Health, the University of Technology Sydney. Her research is focused in the area of pharmaceutical technologies developing novel drug delivery systems for chronic respiratory diseases such as asthma, chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD), and lung cancer. She has obtained her M. Pharm degree in Pharmaceutical
Sciences in India, where she has gained working experience in several areas such as drug development, analytical methods, pharmacognosy studies, microwave techniques, and nanotechnology-based novel drug delivery systems. Mehta has received various awards and carries an impressive bibliography of scientific papers published in journals of international repute.
Terezinha de Jesus Andreoli Pinto is a Professor at the School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Sao Paulo.
