Abstract

The development of polymer based amphiphilic nanocarriers targeting the tumor cells have become vital for effective diagnosis and treatment of cancer. Synthetic polyesters have shown great promise in the development of nanocarriers for cancer therapeutic applications. The biodegradable and biocompatible polyester micelles, in particular, have shown considerable promise in cancer treatment and detection at early stages. Some candidates have already been developed for clinical trials or are now undergoing clinical trials. In this review, we'll look at polyester micelles that are used for delivery of drug and cancer theranostics. Furthermore, I have also mentioned a short list of the most common varieties of polyesters utilised in biomedical disciplines, as well as I have highlighted some current clinical achievement of polyester micelles at the end.
