Need to know “Why” and “How” BACTERIA are suitable for Anticancer Drug Delivery Systems.

    Cancer is one of the major diseases that endanger human health.

      However, the use of anticancer drugs is accompanied by a series of side effects.

     Suitable drug delivery systems can reduce the toxic side effects of drugs and enhance the bioavailability of drugs, among which targeted drug delivery systems are the main development direction of anticancer drug delivery systems.

      Bacteria is a novel drug delivery system that has shown great potential in cancer therapy because of its tumour-targeting, oncolytic, and immunomodulatory properties.

    Thus, it would be worth to  systematically describe the reasons why bacteria are suitable carriers of anticancer drugs and the mechanisms by which these advantages arise.

     Further, it is strived to outline strategies on how to load drugs onto bacterial carriers.

      Lastly,  an effort has been made in this E-Booklet to precisely summarize the advantages and various drug-loading strategies of bacteria for cancer therapy which may contribute to the development of bacterial drug delivery systems along with plenty of ILLUSTRATIONS for better understanding.
