Abstract
Paclitaxel has been proven to be effective against different types of cancer. A delivery system loaded with paclitaxel at tumor site should provide a high local concentration of the drug detrimental to malignant cells, which prevents the re-growth and metastasis of tumor. In this review, paclitaxel formulations for systemic and for intratumoral administration are discussed.
