Application of semiconductor nanomaterials in cancer theranostics
Author(s): Mehrnaz Mostafavi*, Jalaledin Ghanavi, Mahtab Shaabani, Hamed Asadi and Mahsa Alizadeh
Cancer theranostics, which aims to integrate diagnostics and therapy for cancer treatment, has benefited greatly from
recent advancements in nanomaterials. This study focuses on the most recent advancements in cancer theranostic techniques
using quantum dots, silica nanoparticles, and carbon-based nanomaterials. Over the last decade, responsive nanocarriers
made from these nanomaterials have shown promise in cancer-specific theranostics. Several experiments in cell and mouse
models have suggested their underlying therapeutic efficacy; however, comprehensive and long-term in vivo
clinical evaluations are undoubtedly expected to make these bench-made materials compatible in real-world settings. .. View more»
