Abstract: Targeted antitumor drug delivery seeks to concentrate the antitumor drugs only in the affected tissues sparing the normal tissues, so that the drug efficacy is increased, and side effects are minimized. Various cancer cell targeting moieties are physically immobilized or covalently conjugated to the delivery systems in order to carry the system specifically to the tumour site. This review mainly focuses on the various types of targeting moieties and role of biodegradable polymers and their nanoparticles in site specific delivery of antitumor drugs.
