Figure 2. 

The most common CRC biomarkers overexpressed in the cellular membrane and the typical molecules/ligands used on the surface of nanoparticles in targeting strategies: FR-α, EGFR, TAG-72.

CEA: Carcinoembryonic antigen; CRC: Colorectal cancer; EGFR: EGF receptor; FR-α: Folate receptor-α; TAG-72: Tumor-associated glycoprotein.
