Abstract:The current treatments of metastatic malignant melanoma include chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immune therapy and radiation therapy, but the treatment outcome is far from optimism. In order to improve the treatment efficiency, it is urgent to improve early diagnosis, and develop more effective treatment drugs and delivery systems. The application of nanotechnology in the diagnosis and therapy of melanoma can reduce the resistance to the drugs, increase efficacy and reduce side effects.
