Abstract: The biomedical field faces an ongoing challenge in developing more effective anti-cancer
medication due to the significant burden that cancer poses on human health. Extensive research has
been conducted on the utilization of natural polysaccharides in nanomedicine owing to their properties
of biocompatibility, biodegradability, non-immunogenicity, and non-toxicity. These characteristics
make them a potent drug delivery system for cancer therapy. The chitosan hyaluronic acid nanoparticle
(CSHANp) system, consisting of chitosan and hyaluronic acid nanoparticles, has exhibited
considerable potential as a nanocarrier for various cancer drugs, rendering it one of the most auspicious
systems presently accessible. The CSHANps demonstrate remarkable drug loading capacity,
precise control over drug release, and exceptional selectivity towards cancer cells. These properties
enhance the therapeutic effectiveness against cancerous cells. This article aims to provide a comprehensive
analysis of CSHANp, focusing on its characteristics, production techniques, applications, and
future prospects.
