Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most common type of cancer in men with high morbidity and mortality. However, the current treatment with drugs often leads to chemotherapy resistance. It is known that the multi-disciplines research on molecular imaging is very helpful for early diagnosing, staging, restaging and precise treatment of PCa. In the past decades, the tumor-specific targeted drugs were developed for the clinic to treat prostate cancer. Among them, the emerging nanotechnology has brought about many exciting novel diagnosis and treatments systems for PCa. Nanotechnology can greatly enhance the treatment activity of PCa and provide novel theranostics platform by utilizing the unique physical/chemical properties, targeting strategy, or by loading with imaging/therapeutic agents. Herein, this chapter focuses on state-of-art advances in imaging and diagnosing PCa with nanomaterials and highlights the approaches used for functionalization of the targeted biomolecules, and in the treatment for various aspects of PCa with multifunctional nanoparticles, nanoplatforms and nanodelivery system.
前列腺癌(PCa)是男性中最常见的癌症类型,发病率和死亡率都很高。然而,目前的药物治疗常常导致化疗耐药。众所周知,分子影像学的多学科研究对于 PCa 的早期诊断、分期、再分期和精确治疗非常有帮助。在过去的几十年中,肿瘤特异性靶向药物已经被开发出来用于临床治疗前列腺癌。其中,新兴的纳米技术为 PCa 的诊断和治疗带来了许多令人兴奋的新系统。纳米技术可以通过利用独特的物理/化学性质、靶向策略或装载成像/治疗剂,极大地增强 PCa 的治疗活性,并提供新的治疗平台。本文主要关注利用纳米材料进行 PCa 成像和诊断的最新进展,并重点介绍了靶向生物分子功能化的方法,以及多功能纳米粒子、纳米平台和纳米递药系统在治疗各种 PCa 方面的应用。
