Abstract
Liver cancer is a highly lethal malignant tumor with a high incidence worldwide. Therefore, its treatment has long been a focus of medical research. Although traditional treatment methods such as surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy have increased the survival rate of patients, their efficacy remains unsatisfactory owing to the nonspecific distribution of drugs, high toxicity, and drug resistance of tumor tissues. In recent years, the application of nanotechnology in the medical field has opened a new avenue for the treatment of liver cancer. Among these treatment methods, photothermal therapy (PTT) based on nanoliposomes has attracted wide attention owing to its unique targeting and high efficiency. This article reviews the latest preclinical research progress of nanoliposome-based PTT for liver cancer and its metastasis, discusses the preclinical challenges in this field, and proposes directions for improvement, with the aim of improving the effectiveness of liver cancer treatment.
期刊介绍：
Lipids in Health and Disease is an open access, peer-reviewed, journal that publishes articles on all aspects of lipids: their biochemistry, pharmacology, toxicology, role in health and disease, and the synthesis of new lipid compounds.
Lipids in Health and Disease is aimed at all scientists, health professionals and physicians interested in the area of lipids. Lipids are defined here in their broadest sense, to include: cholesterol, essential fatty acids, saturated fatty acids, phospholipids, inositol lipids, second messenger lipids, enzymes and synthetic machinery that is involved in the metabolism of various lipids in the cells and tissues, and also various aspects of lipid transport, etc. In addition, the journal also publishes research that investigates and defines the role of lipids in various physiological processes, pathology and disease. In particular, the journal aims to bridge the gap between the bench and the clinic by publishing articles that are particularly relevant to human diseases and the role of lipids in the management of various diseases.
