Review Deciphering the Potential of Nanotherapeutics in Lung Cancer Management.

Abstract

Lung cancer remains a formidable challenge in oncology, necessitating the develop-ment of more effective prognostic and diagnostic techniques due to inefficient conventional therapeutic approaches and inadequate methods for early lung cancer diagnosis. Despite im-mense progress in the development of innovative strategies to alleviate the impact of this devas-tating disease, the outcomes, unfortunately, remain unsatisfactory, particularly in targeted drug delivery methods. Consequently, nanotechnology has emerged as a revolutionary force in cancer research to develop more effective targeted drug delivery tools due to its extraordinary capacity at the atomic and molecular levels. It has appeared as a beacon of hope in this area of unmet need, providing innovative ways for the prognosis and diagnosis of lung carcinoma. Therefore, this comprehensive review delves into the evolving field of nano-based therapeutics, shedding light on their potential to transform lung cancer treatment. This study meticulously explores the most promising nano-based strategies that have been extensively linked with the treatment of lung carcinoma and mainly emphasizes targeted drug delivery methods and therapies. Addition-ally, this review encapsulates the favorable results of clinical trials, which support the potential pathways for further development of nanotherapeutics in lung cancer management.
