Abstract:
Advances in nanotechnology have opened new frontiers in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. Nanoparticle-based technology improves the precision of tumor diagnosis when combined with imaging, as well as the accuracy of drug target delivery, with fewer side effects. Optimized nanosystems have demonstrated advantages in many fields, including enhanced specificity of detection, reduced toxicity of drugs, enhanced effect of contrast agents, and advanced diagnosis and therapy of gastrointestinal (GI) cancers. In this review, we summarize the current nanotechnologies in diagnosis and treatment of GI cancers. The development of nanotechnology will lead to personalized approaches for early diagnosis and treatment of GI cancers.
