Many cancer patients do not respond to chemotherapy because the drugs never reach the cancer cells.
Even in nanomedicine, only about one per cent of a dose of nanoparticles will successfully arrive at the intended tumour site, while the rest are filtered out by the immune cells of the liver and spleen.
