Nowadays, with the advent of cutting-edge technologies in the field of biotechnology, some highly advanced medical methods are introduced to treat cancers more efficiently. In the chemotherapy processes, anti-cancer drugs can be encapsulated in a stimuli-responsive coating which is capable of being functionalized by diverse ligands to increase the biocompatibility and control drug release behavior in a targeted drug delivery system. Nanoparticles (NPs) are playing an important role as nanocarriers in chemotherapy procedures, recently, numerous novel drug delivery systems have been studied which employed diverse types of NPs with remarkable structural features like porous nanocarriers with active and extended surface areas to enhance the drug loading and delivery efficacy.
