Drug bioavailability, drug solubility, drug biodistribution, drug resistance brought on by treatment, and nonspecific toxicity can all be improved with the development of nanoparticle chemotherapeutic drug delivery applications based on nanotechnology. It possesses active as well as passive targeting of tumour cells. Due to this reason, a wide range of chemotherapeutic agents like cisplatin, taxol, doxorubicin, and carboplatin are extensively utilized for treating cancer. Deep tissue penetration of nanoparticles is found to increase the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect. There are some limitations with conventional drug delivery system which is minimized by utilizing nanoparticles as a drug delivery system. The current review has focused on targeted strategies and novel approaches in cancer treatment with nanoparticles. https://biomedpharmajournal.org/vol16no3/nanoparticles-a-booming-drug-delivery-system-in-chemotherapy/ Bioavailability Chemotherapy Nanoparticles Solubility Targeted Therapy Tumour
