Oral squamous cell carcinoma is the sixth most common cancer for both sexes worldwide. The high mortality rate in cancer such as oral squamous cell carcinoma is commonly attributed to the difficulties in detecting the disease at an early and treatable stage. New methods of nanoengineered materials that are being developed might be effective in detecting the disease at an early treatable stage and treating illnesses and diseases such as cancer. "Nanotechnology" refers to the handling and/or engineering of nano-objects on the scale of molecules. This review deals with some recent developments concerning cancer detection and treatment enabled by nanotechnologies.
口腔鳞状细胞癌是全球男女中第六大常见癌症。像口腔鳞状细胞癌这样的癌症高死亡率通常归因于在早期可治疗阶段检测该疾病存在困难。正在研发的新型纳米工程材料方法可能在早期可治疗阶段有效检测该疾病以及治疗诸如癌症等疾病。“纳米技术”指的是在分子尺度上对纳米物体的操控和/或工程化。本综述探讨了纳米技术在癌症检测和治疗方面的一些最新进展。
