Pre-targeting and direct immunotargeting of liposomal drug carriers to ovarian carcinoma.

BACKGROUND: Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is overexpressed in many solid tumor types, such as ovarian carcinoma. Immunoliposome based drug targeting has shown promising results in drug delivery to the tumors. However, the ratio of tumor-to-normal tissue concentrations should be increased t...
