Abstract
Although chemotherapy-based treatment of leukemia has tremendously improved survival rates in children, induction of treatment-related side effects is a major concern in clinical oncology. The development of nanotechnology-based drug delivery techniques to target clinically approved anticancer agents specifically to leukemic cells should diminish toxic side effects. This review aims to address the rational design of nanotherapeutics in treating hematologic malignancies with a focus on acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL)--the most prominent form of pediatric cancer.Entities:
