Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most prevalent primary malignant brain tumor, characterized by a high mortality rate and a poor prognosis. The blood-brain barrier (BBB) and the blood-tumor barrier (BTB) present significant obstacles to the efficacy of tumor-targeted pharmacotherapy, thereby impeding the therapeutic potential of numerous candidate drugs. Targeting delivery of adequate doses of drug across the BBB to treat GBM has become a prominent research area in recent years. This emphasis has driven the exploration and evaluation of diverse technologies for GBM pharmacotherapy, with some already undergoing clinical trials. This review provides a thorough overview of recent advancements and challenges in targeted drug delivery for GBM treatment. It specifically emphasizes systemic drug administration strategies to assess their potential and limitations in GBM treatment. Furthermore, this review highlights promising future research directions in the development of intelligent drug delivery systems aimed at overcoming current challenges and enhancing therapeutic efficacy against GBM. These advancements not only support foundational research on targeted drug delivery systems for GBM but also offer methodological approaches for future clinical applications.
