Abstract

Natural or semisynthetic nanoparticles often degrade too fast and are cleared by the hepatic portal system before they effectively deliver therapeutic macromolecules especially to lung cancer cells. In an attempt to prolong shelf life of nanovectors in the human bloodstream for enhanced therapeutic efficacy of anticancer agents against cancer cells, nanoparticles are prepared synthetically. This chapter focuses on different synthetically prepared organic nanomaterials which have shown successful preclinical results in the treatment of lung cancer.
