Cover Story: Improvements in diagnostic methods and treatment modalities have helped us to lower the death rate from cancer, which is still a major global health concern. Traditional treatments, such as surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy, have limitations due to their lack of adhesion to cancer cells and hydrophobic nature. Since polymeric nanocarriers are so effective at delivering bioactive compounds, they include stimulus-responsive signals that are triggered by either exogenous (such as magnetism or light) or endogenous (such as pH, redox, or glucose) levels factors. This review offers hope for a more promising future for cancer treatment by providing a thorough overview of recent developments in pH- and redox-triggered polymer nanocomposites for site-specific drug release in cancer therapy. View this paper
