Research Progress on Diagnosis and Treatment of Oral Cancer Guided by Nanomedicine Technology / 肿瘤防治研究

ABSTRACT

Squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck is the sixth most common cancer in the world, 40% of which occurs in the oral cavity. Although the level of early diagnosis and treatment of oral cancer has been significantly improved, the 5-year survival rate of advanced patients is still low. Nanomedical technology has the ability to efficiently deliver drugs, nucleic acids and contrast agents, enhance the tolerance of patients and improve the quality of life while improving the accuracy of diagnostic technology and the efficacy of chemotherapeutic drugs, thus providing a broad prospect for the diagnosis and treatment of oral cancer. This paper reviews the research progress of the application of nanomedical technology in both diagnosis and treatment of oral cancer.
