In comparison to phospholipids, surfactants offer the advantages of being relatively inexpensive and simple to store40. The bilayer structure of niosomes provides the same selective accumulation in tumor tissues, permeability to biological membranes, and controlled release as liposomes41. Niosome formulations typically require cholesterol and other membrane stabilizers to prevent aggregation and leakage of the encapsulated material. In liposome formulations, small quantities of PEG are incorporated
