Research Article: Synergistic Combination of an Intelligent Nanozyme and Radiotherapy for Treating Renal Cancer
Abstract:
According to the cancer statistics estimated in , the incidence rate of tumors in the urinary system ranked among the top ten cancers. Among all the estimated cases of urinary cancer, cancers occurring in the kidney and renal pelvis account for one-third of new diagnoses with renal cell carcinoma accounting for % of the cases with kidney cancer. Surgery including partial nephrectomy as well as radical nephrectomy is widely performed during the treatment of renal cell carcinoma patients., Targeted therapies utilizing chemotherapeutic drugs and immunotherapy are being utilized as strategies for systemic therapy. However, it is necessary to preserve as much nephron as possible during the treatment of renal cell carcinoma since the kidney plays an important role in the excretion of waste from the body. Meanwhile, incomplete clearance of cancer cells might lead to tumor recurrence., Therefore, to improve the patient’s quality of life as well as inhibit tumor recurrence, researchers are exploring nanocomposites, which can specifically respond to the tumor microenvironment (TME) or can be tailored according to the tumor characteristics.– The introduction of nanocomposite promotes tumor ablation without impairing kidney function, suggesting its promising potential for treating renal cell carcinoma patients.
