Two-dimensional metal organic frameworks in cancer treatment

Abstract

With large specific surface area, controllable pore size, increased active sites, and structural stability, two-dimensional metal organic frameworks (2D MOFs) have emerged as promising nanomedicines in cancer therapy. These distinctive features make 2D MOFs particularly advantageous in cancer treatment and the corresponding application has gained considerable popularity, signifying significant application potential. Herein, recent advances in various applications including drug delivery and chemotherapy, photodynamic therapy, sonodynamic therapy, chemodynamic therapy, catalytic therapy, and combined therapy were summarized, with emphasis on the latest progress of new materials and mechanisms for these processes. Moreover, the current challenges, potential solutions, and possible future directions are discussed as well.
