Abstract

The potential role of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in the diagnosis and treatment of malignant melanoma (MM) is still an emerging area of research. To date, there is strong evidence for the efficiency of CNTs in this therapeutic area, despite their unique physical, mechanical and biological properties. In this review, the application of CNTs in cancer diagnostics and treatment is reviewed, and consideration is given to the toxicity issues associated with their use.

摘要

碳纳米管（CNTs）在恶性黑色素瘤（MM）的诊断和治疗中的潜在作用仍然是一个新兴的研究领域。迄今为止，尽管 CNT 具有独特的物理、机械和生物学特性，但仍有强有力的证据表明 CNT 在这一治疗领域的有效性。本文综述了 CNT 在癌症诊断和治疗中的应用，并考虑了与 CNT 应用相关的毒性问题。
