Liposomes which offer the advantage of the enhanced drug accumulation at tumor sites are currently applied extensively in the clinical treatment of tumor. However, accumulation of the liposomes in the tumor area cannot guarantee the drug bioavailability. To resolve the question, thermosensitive targeting liposomes (TTL) have been the hotspot of current studies. TTL can enhance drug accumulation at tumor sites and be triggered to release their contents upon hyperthermia. By applying these two strategies, antitumor efficacy of encapsulated drug can be significantly improved. The present paper reviews the development of TTL in recent years.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D006979 Hyperthermia, Induced Abnormally high temperature intentionally induced in living things regionally or whole body. It is most often induced by radiation (heat waves, infra-red), ultrasound, or drugs. Fever Therapy,Hyperthermia, Local,Hyperthermia, Therapeutic,Thermotherapy,Induced Hyperthermia,Therapeutic Hyperthermia,Therapy, Fever,Local Hyperthermia
D008081 Liposomes Artificial, single or multilaminar vesicles (made from lecithins or other lipids) that are used for the delivery of a variety of biological molecules or molecular complexes to cells, for example, drug delivery and gene transfer. They are also used to study membranes and membrane proteins.

D009369 Neoplasms New abnormal growth of tissue. Malignant neoplasms show a greater degree of anaplasia and have the properties of invasion and metastasis, compared to benign neoplasms. Benign Neoplasm,Cancer,Malignant Neoplasm,Tumor,Tumors,Benign Neoplasms,Malignancy,Malignant Neoplasms,Neoplasia,Neoplasm,Neoplasms, Benign,Cancers,Malignancies,Neoplasias,Neoplasm, Benign,Neoplasm, Malignant,Neoplasms, Malignant
D004337 Drug Carriers Forms to which substances are incorporated to improve the delivery and the effectiveness of drugs. Drug carriers are used in drug-delivery systems such as the controlled-release technology to prolong in vivo drug actions, decrease drug metabolism, and reduce drug toxicity. Carriers are also used in designs to increase the effectiveness of drug delivery to the target sites of pharmacological actions. Liposomes, albumin microspheres, soluble synthetic polymers, DNA complexes, protein-drug conjugates, and carrier erythrocytes among others have been employed as biodegradable drug carriers. Drug Carrier

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
