As one of drug or gene carriers, peptide-modified pH-sensitive liposomes can actively target the tumor tissues, release anti-tumor drugs in specific areas, reduce side effects of drugs, and improve their therapeutic potency. In this review, the modification methods of peptide-modified liposomes and their anti-tumor applications by gene transfection and drug delivery are introduced. This paper is expected to provide a reference for the preparation of peptide-modified pH-sensitive liposomes and design of carriers for anti-tumor drugs.
