Phytochemicals and derivatives have become promising alternatives to increase treatment potential in cancer patients with minimal side effects. Drug-delivery Systems of Phytochemicals as Therapeutic Strategies in Cancer Therapy elucidates the importance of various phytochemicals in cancer therapy and explains various routes/methods to deliver phytochemicals for overcoming the problems associated with delivery system in cancer treatment. Several nanotechnological methods are followed to enhance drug solubility, sustainability, bioavailability and gastrointestinal permeability of these phytochemicals. The advanced field of drug-delivery systems explains that combination therapy for cancer treatment has important benefits over mono-delivery therapeutics. Natural compounds, because of their biobased origin, have drawn higher attention than synthetic drugs. Synthesis of nano-phytomedicines has impacted the bioavailability of phytochemicals. Novel formulations have been synthesized loaded with phytochemicals and have revealed extraordinary results in treatment of various cancers. Current understanding of the relevant information presented in Drug-delivery systems of phytochemicals as therapeutic strategies in cancer therapy fulfils the requirements of oncologists, molecular biologists, pharmacologist and related researchers, who want to work in the areas of drug development targeting phytochemicals for cancer therapy - Explains the significance of phytochemicals in cancer therapy, along with their pharmacologic action - Elucidates the importance of various phytochemicals in cancer therapy - Explains the emerging need of drug-delivery system for plant metabolites - Deciphers the various drug-delivery systems for phytomedicines involved in cancer treatments - Describes the crucial role of nanotechnology in the development of drug-delivery systems for anticancer phytochemicals - Explores the challenges associated with developing drug-delivery systems for phytochemicals to cure cancer

Dr. Mamta Bisht is presently working as an Assistant Professor in Department of Chemistry, School of Applied and Life Sciences, Uttaranchal University (NAAC A+), Dehradun, Uttarakhand India. She is actively involved in the extraction, isolation, characterization of 'Natural Products” obtained from the medicinal and aromatic plants with bioactivity since last 8 years. Besides this her analytical skill is in GC, GC-MS, HPLC, Prep- HPLC and HPTLC. Further, she is equally involved in the promotion of endangered and economically important species from the Youngest Himalayan region. She has been published more than fifteen papers in peer-reviewed international journal and seven book chapter. Further, she has been participated more than ten conferences including national and international. She is life time member of Indian Science Congress Association. Under her guidance many P.G. and U.G. student successfully completed her Project Thesis and some students are working with her. She is also guided the Ph. D students in the University.
