Lung cancer, the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, is characterized by its aggressive nature and poor prognosis. As traditional chemotherapy has the disadvantage of non-specificity, nanomedicine offers innovative approaches for targeted therapy, particularly through the development of nanoparticles that can deliver therapeutic agents directly to cancer cells, minimizing systemic toxicity and enhancing treatment efficacy. VEGF and VEGFR are shown to be responsible for activating different signaling cascades, which will ultimately enhance tumor development, angiogenesis, and metastasis. By inhibiting VEGF and VEGFR signaling pathways, these nanotherapeutics can effectively disrupt tumor angiogenesis and proliferation. This review highlights recent advancements in nanoparticle design, including lipid-based, polymeric, and inorganic nanoparticles, and their clinical implications in improving lung cancer outcomes, exploring the role of nanomedicine in lung cancer diagnoses and treatment.
肺癌是全球癌症相关死亡的主要原因,其特点是侵袭性强,预后差。由于传统化疗具有非特异性的缺点,纳米医学为靶向治疗提供了创新方法,特别是通过开发可以将治疗剂直接递送到癌细胞的纳米粒子,从而最小化系统毒性并提高治疗效果。已经表明 VEGF 和 VEGFR 负责激活不同的信号级联,这最终将增强肿瘤的发展、血管生成和转移。通过抑制 VEGF 和 VEGFR 信号通路,这些纳米药物可以有效地破坏肿瘤的血管生成和增殖。本综述重点介绍了纳米粒子设计的最新进展,包括基于脂质、聚合物和无机纳米粒子的设计,以及它们在改善肺癌治疗结果方面的临床意义,探讨了纳米医学在肺癌诊断和治疗中的作用。
