Abstract

The worldwide cancer burden has increased, driving the search for novel treatment options. Cancer vaccines were first developed about three decades ago, with gene therapy intervention improvements for the treatment of various malignancies. Limited targeting ability due to the tumors is a common issue with cancer vaccinations. Targeting tumor cells using nanocarriers has being explored as a new technology for gene therapy. This technology explores how nanotherapeutic systems have advanced in order to make more effective genetic vaccines for cancer therapy.
