Targeted drug delivery systems for bladder cancer therapy

Bladder cancer is a severe disease that threatens human health. The high recurrence rate and severe side-effects of traditional bladder cancer therapy require more efficient and higher targeting treatment. Drug delivery systems especially being endowed with the targeting property may provide a feasible means to solve such problems. Herein, we have reviewed the recent progress of the drug delivery systems aiming at bladder cancer therapy especially focusing on their targeting strategies. Additionally, we give some outlook of the design on targeting strategy for more effective anti-cancer applications.
