Stimuli‐Responsive Nanocarriers for Transcytosis‐Based Cancer Drug Delivery

Significant challenges persist in enhancing the delivery efficiency of tumor nanomedicines, predominantly due to the difficulty of successfully surpassing pathophysiological barriers. Enhancing tumor penetration of nanomedicines in such conditions represents a pivotal goal in advancing anticancer nanotherapeutics. Transcytosis emerges as a promising solution in this context, addressing the limitations of passive drug delivery. By harnessing diverse stimuli to induce transcytosis, nanocarriers can achieve precise drug delivery and deep tumor penetration, resulting in high therapeutic efficacy and reduced systemic exposure to the therapeutic compound. This review briefly examines various stimuli‐responsive nanosystems and offers an overview and outlook on the development of stimuli‐responsive nanocarriers for transcytosis‐based cancer drug delivery, aiming to provide informative insights for the design of nanomedicines capable of deep tissue penetration and enhanced therapeutic efficacy.
