The effect of low- and high-penetration light on localized cancer therapy.
Advanced Drug Delivery Reviews 2018 September 13
The design of a delivery system allowing targeted and controlled drug release has been considered one of the main strategies used to provide individualized cancer therapy, to improve survival statistics, and to enhance quality-of-life. External stimuli including low- and high-penetration light have been shown to have the ability to turn drug delivery on and off in a non-invasive remotely-controlled fashion. The success of this approach has been closely related to the development of a variety of drug delivery systems - from photosensitive liposomes to gold nanocages - and relies on multiple mechanisms of drug release activation. In this review, we make reference to the two extremes of the light spectrum and their potential as triggers for the delivery of antitumor drugs, along with the most recent achievements in preclinical trials and the challenges to an efficient translation of this technology to the clinical setting.
