Skin cancer therapeutics: nano-drug delivery vectors—present and beyond

Abstract Background Skin cancers are among the widely prevalent forms of cancer worldwide. The increasing industrialization and accompanied environmental changes have further worsened skin statistics. stern topical barrier although difficult to breach is a little compromised in pathologies like cancer. therapeutic management has moved beyond chemotherapy surgery. Main body abstract quest for magic bullet still prevails, but drug delivery emerged as perfect modality localized self-application with minimal systemic ingress cancers. Advances evidenced by exploration nanocarriers newer technologies microneedle-assisted/mediated therapeutics revolutionized paradigms treatment. engineered nanovectors not only been given liberty experiment wide-array carriers very distinguishing characteristics also endowed them target specificity. biologicals nucleic acid-based approaches or penetrating peptide vectors another promising area which demonstrated potential research studies. In this review, panoramic view presented on etiology, options, emerging modalities Short conclusion Nanocarriers innumerable opportunities interventions therapeutics. Challenge persists bench bedside translation these highly upcoming strategies. Graphic
