REVIEW STUDIES ON THE FORMULATION AND EVALUATION OF TRANSDERMAL PATCHES OF SOME ANTINEOPLASTIC DRUGS
AbstractCancer refers to a group of diseases characterized by abnormal, unchecked cell growth that spreads to other body parts. Breast, liver, colorectal, kidney, stomach, lungs, and cervical cancer are the most common tumours, with skin cancer (excluding melanoma) being the least common (contributing up to 40 percent of the cases). Surgery, chemotherapy, and other traditional medical methods have several negative side effects, including extreme inflammation and discomfort. As a result, transdermal delivery of the anticancer drug transdermal patch may be beneficial for treating multiple breast cancers via the skin. Transdermal drug penetration using various methods, such as nanocarriers, tactile penetration enhancing tools, chemical penetration enhancers, and newer innovations, such as gels, dendrimers, needle-free injection jets and so on, results in increased patient compliance, scar elimination, and economic benefit. Topical antineoplastic drug delivery is a popular option for increasing site-specific delivery, mitigating side effects, and enhancing therapeutic effects. This study aims to discuss the transdermal delivery of anticancer agents via the skin, which can open up a new frontier in cancer care using nanocarriers.
