Breathing New Life into Conventional Chemotherapy drugs: Enhancing Efficacy via Nanoparticle Codelivery along with Phytochemicals. Correspondence to Author:  Dr. Sharadendu Bali, MBBS, MS, PhD.  Professor, General Surgery, TMC& RC, TMU, Moradabad DOI:   10.52338/tjoco.2025.5260 Abstract: Cancer continues to be one of the leading causes of death worldwide, with 10 million fatalities and 19.3 million new cases reported in 2020. Multidrug resistance (MDR), a formidable issue in chemotherapy, is characterized by the ability of cancer cells to evade cytotoxic drugs through mechanisms such as altered drug targets, disrupted DNA repair, and overexpression of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters like P-glycoprotein (P-gp, responsible for drug efflux). While older oral chemotherapeutics, including 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and methotrexate, have been effective in certain cancers, their clinical applications are frequently limited by poor bioavailability, dose-limiting toxicitie...
