Özet

Malignant pleural mesothelioma ( MPM), the incidence increased with each passing day, is an important lethal disease due to the limited survive with available treatment methods and with the lack of a standard treatment. Response and survive rates of cytotoxic agents which is used in MPM treatment are not good enough. Therefore, treatment studies of MPM seem to quite important and urgent. In cancer therapy, convensional chemotherapeutic applications, due to the lack of selectivity, lead to systemic toxicity. Besides the limited solubility of the agent used, the distribution between the cells is weak. It is very difficult to the pass through cellular barriers, particularly, drug resistance may develop to the treatment. All of these reasons lead to failure in the treatment process. Because of the fact that cytotoxic drugs either kill the rapidly growing and dividing cells or make them disfunctional by showing toxic effect on them, to avoid the side effects and to make an inherent effect for cytotoxic drug of active ingredient given for treatment on tumor, different studies have been under investigation. At the present time, nanocarriers as one of these solutions seem to have an important place. Nanocarriers are promising for the development of therapeutic effectiveness and safety. It seems that use of the nanocarrier in the treatment of mesothelioma has a potential, as effective alternative a method, with improve of the drug efficacy and reduce of toxicity in normal tissues.
