Abstract

Tumor-targeted chemo- or gene-therapies is a new form of treatment which provides the benefits of reducing systemic toxicity, increasing the tolerance, and enhancing therapeutic efficacy. This review will discuss the discovery, function, application, and mechanism by which the short peptides (5-9) work for tumor-targeted gene or drug delivery.
