Research Article: Multi-Site Attack, Neutrophil Membrane-Camouflaged Nanomedicine with High Drug Loading for Enhanced Cancer Therapy and Metastasis Inhibition
Abstract:
Metastasis is one of the major causes of cancer death in the clinic. Metastasis is a sequential process where tumor cells disseminate from primary tumor, known as circulating tumor cells (CTCs), and further extravasate to multiple organs to develop metastatic nodes. Especially, advanced breast cancer (ABC) is one of highly metastatic tumor types, and % of mortalities are caused by metastasis, such as lung or bone metastasis. Common cancer treatment modalities, such as chemotherapy and surgical resection, have demonstrated great potential in eradicating primary tumors, yet metastasis and post-operative recurrence remain a challenge that should be addressed. Recently, nanomedicine has drawn great attention in terms of cancer therapy because of their exceptional abilities, such as solubility, controlled drug release and safety.– However, the drug delivery efficiency to tumors (ie, drug loading and tumor targeting) and anti-metastasis efficacy of nanomedicine are far from satisfactory., Therefore, an effective approach should be established for simultaneous elimination of primary tumor and inhibition of CTC dissemination to achieve enhanced cancer therapy.
