[Advances of Function of Prussian Blue Nano-materials in Cancer Diagnosis and Therapy]
Abstract:
Prussian blue(PB),a kind of ferrous ferricyanide composed of Fe2+and Fe3+,has been approved by Food and Drug Administration(FDA,USA)as an oral drug for the treatment of thallium and cesium poisoning.The biosafety of PB has been proved by long-term clinical trials.In recent years,PB nano-materials have attracted intensive research interests for medical application,especially for tumor imaging and treatment of cancer.Compared to other nano-materials,PB has potential advantage in medical application due to the high biosafety.This paper reviews the new advances in the functions of cancer diagnosis and therapy of PB nano-materials.

Overview of Advanced Functional Groups
Functional groups are groups of atoms with specific chemical properties that occur within organic molecules and are sometimes denoted as “R”. Functional groups can “functionalize” a compound by enabling it to adopt different physical and chemical properties.
Types of Advanced Functional Groups
The table below summarizes some of the major functional groups in organic chemistry.
Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
