Nanomedicine in Melanoma: Current Trends and Future Perspectives

Abstract: Abstract:As cutaneous melanoma is a highly aggressive and drug-resistant cancer, there is intense research focusing on developing new, efficient drugs. Nanomedicine focuses on developing different groups of nanomaterials for both diagnosis and therapy, and this combination of specific diagnosis and therapy is called theranostics. Nanomaterials tailored as delivery vehicles can be nanocapsules, nanorods, nanotubes, nanoshells, and nanocages. All these structures protect the intended drug against degradation and… Show more

“…Drug-loaded nanoparticles offer several advantages: prolonging drug half-life, enhancing drug localization, increasing drug efficacy, minimizing toxic side effects, and diminishing the chances of multidrug resistance [ 132 ]. Melanoma also can benefit from these advantages [ 133 , 134 , 135 ]. Thus, treatments with old pro-oxidant drugs, such as paclitaxel, dacarbazine, doxorubicin, but also Ps loaded in nanoparticles, being more effective, become more appealing for clinical treatments [ 133 , 134 , 135 , 136 ].…”

Thus, treatments with old pro-oxidant drugs, such as paclitaxel, dacarbazine, doxorubicin, but also Ps loaded in nanoparticles, being more effective, become more appealing for clinical treatments [ 133 , 134 , 135 , 136 ]. Recently, the nanoparticle-albumin-bound paclitaxel (Nab-Paclitaxel), indicated as monotherapy or in combination with other drugs for the treatment of advanced breast, pancreatic, and non-small cell lung cancers [ 137 ], has also gained attention for MM treatment [ 138 ].…”

“…Thus, the nanoparticle-based technology enables favorable biodistribution and pharmacokinetics of the albumin-bound paclitaxel formulation. Though notable success has been achieved regarding the synthesis and formulation of NP drug, there is a dearth in the clinical translation, suggesting the existence of several limitations as well as opportunities . Heterogeneity of the target, side-effect activation, toxicity, and immunological and biological clearance are the main limitations that need to be addressed to significantly improve the efficacy of the nanodrug for future theranostic applications.…”

“…Melanoma, one of the most lethal skin tumors with prominent morbidity and mortality, has posed a serious threat to human health and identifying effective treatment modalities is of utmost importance [ [1] , [2] , [3] ]. In the past few decades, various strategies have been performed for inhibiting the growth and metastasis of melanoma, including immunotherapy using an antibody directed against programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1).…”
