Targeted Cancer Therapies

8.6K
The targeted cancer therapies, also known as “molecular targeted therapies,” take advantage of the molecular and genetic differences between the cancer cells and the normal cells. It needs a thorough understanding of the cancer cells to develop drugs that can target specific molecular aspects that drive the growth, progression, and spread of cancer cells without affecting the growth and survival of other normal cells in the body.
There are several types of targeted therapies against...

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the application of nanoconfinement for theranostic cancer treatment.
  • To highlight the advantages of gold nanoparticles in nanoconfined theranostic systems.
  • To discuss future directions for nanoconfinement-enhanced cancer therapy.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature on nanoconfinement strategies for cancer theranostics.
  • Focus on "Particle-in-Particle" (PIP) systems utilizing gold nanoparticles.
  • Analysis of theranostic applications including imaging (CT) and hyperthermia.

Main Results:

  • Nanoconfinement of gold nanoparticles in PIP systems offers theranostic advantages.
  • These systems enable quantitative imaging of nanomedicine at disease sites.
  • Potential for improved therapeutic efficacy and early diagnosis through enhanced resolution.

Conclusions:

  • Nanoconfinement of gold nanoparticles presents a promising approach for advanced cancer theranostics.
