Abstract:

At present, most drugs for clinical cancer therapy are non-selective, with the inhibition of tumor cell proliferation, they also have significant side effects on normal tissues, thereby improving the tumor-selective capacity, reducing their gathering in non-targeted areas are the keys to enhance the effectiveness of anti-cancer drugs. As drug carriers, albumin nanoparticles exhibit various outstanding biological properties, and now have been used in targeted delivery systems. The paper reviews the albumin's tumor aggregation features, the latest researches in the targeted therapy of tumor and clinical applications when they are modified with RGD peptides, monoclonal antibodies, folic acid, hyaluronic acid, transferrin and other targeted material,in order to provide advices for developing safe and effective tumor targeting drugs.

Key words: albumin nanoparticles, targeted modification, tumor therapy, applications
