Anticancer drugs such as biological therapeutic proteins and peptides are used for treatment of a variety of tumors. However, their wider use has been hindered by their poor bioavailability and the uncontrollable sites of action in vivo. Cancer nano-therapeutics is rapidly progressing, which is being applied for solving some limitations of conventional drug delivery systems. To improve the bio-distribution of anticancer drugs, carbon nanotubes have been used as one of the most effective drug carriers. This review discusses the carbon nanotubes-mediated methods for the delivery of anticancer drugs, with emphasis on the radiation-induced drug-targeted releasing and selective photo-thermal cancer therapy.
