| description | Gynecological cancer is a life-threatening malignancy among women. Traditional therapies, including chemotherapy, often face challenges in terms of chemotherapeutic drug solubility and resistance, specificity, tumor site targeting, and toxicity to healthy tissues, leading to shortened efficacy and unfavorable patient outcomes and survival rates in patients with gynecologic malignancies. Recently, nanotechnology-based therapeutic methods such as targeted drug delivery and phototherapies have emerged as an appropriate alternative to overcome issues associated with traditional therapeutic methods. Specifically, nanomaterials and nanomaterial-based methods enhance the delivery of therapeutic/targeting agents to tumor sites and cellular uptakes and improve the tumor-suppressing effect. This review aims to provide an overview and future perspective on the potential impact of nanotechnology-based therapeutic methods for effective therapies for gynecologic cancer. |
