RNA interference technology has been developed as a potential therapeutic agent for many indications, including cancer. Silencing a specific oncogene in tumor cells brings about cell death both in vitro and in vivo. However, there is a great need for powerful delivery strategies to enhance the therapeutic effect of small interfering RNA (siRNA). This review summarizes different signaling pathways inhibited by siRNA and the advantages of targeted siRNA as a delivery system.
