One of the most promising strategies in CRC therapy is the development of delivery systems based on nanomaterials that can transport antitumor agents to the tumor site more efficiently, increasing accumulation within the tumor and thus the antitumor effect. In addition to taking advantage of the increased permeability and retention effect (EPR) of solid tumors, these nanoformulations can be conjugated with monoclonal antibodies that recognize molecular markers that are specifically over-expressed on CRC cells. Active targeting of nanoformulations reduces the adverse effects associated with the cytotoxic activity of drugs in healthy tissues, which will be of interest for improving the quality of life of cancer patients in the future. This review focuses on in vitro and in vivo studies of drug delivery nanoformulations functionalized with monoclonal antibodies for targeted therapy of CRC.}, organization = {Ministerio de Educacion y Formacion Profesional (Spain) FPU17/02977 FPU19/04112}, organization = {Spanish Government PI20-00284}, organization = {Junta de Andalucia A-CTS-666-UGR20 P20_00540 B-CTS-122-UGR20 PYC20-RE-035 UGR}, organization = {European Commission Instituto de Salud Carlos III European Commission PI19/01478-FEDER}, publisher = {Dove Medical Press}, keywords = {Nanoformulation}, keywords = {Colon carcinoma}, keywords = {Monoclonal antibody}, keywords = {5-fluorouracil}, keywords = {Targeted therapy}, title = {Antibody-Functionalized Nanoformulations for Targeted Therapy of Colorectal Cancer: A Systematic Review}, doi = {10.2147/IJN.S368814}, author = {Cepero Martín, Ana and Luque, Cristina and Cabeza Montilla, Laura and Perazzoli, Gloria and Quiñonero Muñoz, Francisco José and Mesas Hernández, Cristina and Melguizo Alonso, Consolación and Prados Salazar, José Carlos}, }
