Core Tip	Current cancer chemotherapy is less effective with adverse side effects, mostly due to lack of tumor-selectivity. Thus tumor-targeting is known the key for successful chemotherapy. Molecular-target therapy is such a strategy but the clinical results are disappointing probably due to the diversity of cancer-related molecules and enormous mutations. A more general tumor-targeting strategy is based on the unique physiophathological and anatomical features of solid tumors - enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect. Accordingly nanomedicine has been developed, with promising therapeutic potential and very less side effects. We thus believe EPR-based nanomedicine will be a solution for cancer in the future.
