Abstract Cancer is a generic term used mostly to denote a large group of diseases that can affect any part of the body. As per the report published by the World Health Organization in 2018, 9.6 million deaths were noted, making cancer the second leading cause of death globally, out of which ≈70% of deaths occurred in low- and middle-income countries. Globally nearly one in six deaths are recorded as due to cancer. Such a devastating disease is spreading all across the boarders and scientists are continuously making efforts to develop a powerful weapon to combat this disease. Penetration of nanotechnology in human life has made a tremendous impact in improving the quality of life. Likewise, nanoparticulate polymeric carrier systems have helped anticancer therapeutics to efficiently deliver drugs to the infected/targeted/tumor site in a controlled manner to achieve both improved and prolonged efficiency and patient convenience. Owing to the exploration of myriad of benefits of nanotechnology-based drug delivery systems in cancer therapeutics, this chapter focuses on the exploitation of polyacrylate polymer (e.g., poly methylacrylate, poly ethyl acrylate, etc.)-based nanoparticulate drug delivery systems in cancer therapeutics.
