  Hydrogel-Based Drug Delivery Nanoparticles with Conventional Treatment Approaches for Cancer Tumors: A Comparative Study Using MCDM Technique
  Author(s): Efe Precious Onakpojeruo*, Berna Uzun and Dilber Uzun Ozsahin
  
  Cancer is a disease caused by the uncontrolled division of abnormal cells in a part of the body leading to cell damage or death (apoptosis). This could result in the death of the host carrier. Most death cases of cancer patients have been linked to the systematic administration of therapeutic agents (chemotherapy) and other conventional methods as the preferred treatment approach for cancer therapy. This treatment mortality is associated with side effects, off-target accumulation, toxicity, and rapid renal and hepatic clearance. In recent times, scientists have researched on targeting tumor sites and enhanced retention of constant drug delivery to tumors to mitigate side effects, and toxicity-related challenges. A water-containing polymer called hydrogels is a unique discovery by scientist and researchers for highly effective drug delivery systems for cancer therapy. Drugs .. View More»
