Update on non-viral delivery methods for cancer therapy: possibilities of a drug delivery system with anticancer activities beyond delivery as a new therapeutic tool.

abstract：INTRODUCTION:Cancer initiating or stem cells (CSCs) are a small population of cells in the tumor mass, which have been reported to be present in different types of cancers. CSCs usually reside within the tumor and are responsible for reoccurrence of cancer. The imprecise, inaccessible nature and increased efflux of con...
