 Targeted delivery mechanisms Specially targeted delivery vehicles aim to increase effective levels of chemotherapy for tumour cells while reducing effective levels for other cells. This should result in an increased tumour kill and/or reduced toxicity.Specially targeted delivery vehicles have an increased affinity for tumour cells and interact with tumour-specific antigens. This method aims towards delivering the maximum effective dose to the tumor cells while reducing the toxic effect on the normal cells. NanoparticlesNanoparticles are used as vehicles in delivering drugs that are not easily soluable, like paclitaxel. One such nanoparticle, Abraxane, won the approval of the FDA in January 2005 for treating refractory breast cancer.
