Novel Strategies to Improve the Anticancer Action of 5-Fluorouracil by Using Drug Delivery Systems Arias Mediano, José Luis Biodegradable polymers Cancer treatment Drug carriers Because of the fundamental importance of new therapeutic routes for cancer treatment, a number of systems based on colloidal particles as vehicles for the delivery of the anticancer drug 5-fluorouracil have been devised. The target is always to provide the proper dose of the antitumor agent only at the desired locus of action, thus reducing the unwanted side effects. In this review, the main strategies and the more significant results in the development of 5-fluorouracil carriers for cancer treatment are discussed. 2024-10-02T06:53:34Z 2024-10-02T06:53:34Z 2008-10-01 journal article Arias Mediano, J.L.
