Curcumin has attracted attention from scientists in oncology and therapeutics, but its delivery faces limitations. Researchers have made efforts to deliver curcumin through the transdermal route, which may offer a new platform for targeting solid tumors like breast carcinoma.
For the past few years, curcumin has drawn the attention of scientists in multidisciplinary fields related to oncology and therapeutics. However, despite its high potency, its delivery suffers from several limitations and challenges that hinders the complete benefit from this magical molecule. Accordingly, this review demonstrates the several attempts and endeavors that the scientists exerted in order to delivery this molecule successfully through the transdermal route. We believe that the transdermal route of delivery of drugs can pose a new platform of targeting solid tumors such as the breast carcinoma so that applying a transdermal patch over the skin or the membrane covering the solid tumor can provide a means of the cure.
