Cancer is an ever-increasing menace that needs to be curbed soon. Though chemotherapy is successful to some extent, the main drawbacks of chemotherapy is the limited accessibility of drugs to the tumor tissues requiring high doses, their intolerable toxicity, development of multiple drug resistance and their non-specific targeting. Nanoparticles (NPs), an evolution of nanotechnology, have the potential to successfully address these problems related to drug delivery and retention and are considered potential candidates to carry drugs to the desired site of therapeutic action. In this review, we give an overview of the use of clinically applicable NPs mainly for cancer therapy. We also focus on the different types of nanoscale polymer carriers used for the delivery of chemotherapeutic agents and the mechanisms that facilitate their targeted delivery to tumor cells.
