The Application of Up-conversion Nanoparticles Materials in Cancer Diagnosis and Therapy

Abstract

Abstract. According to estimates by oncologists, if early tumor diagnosis and treatment in a timely manner can be achieved in the millimeter level or below, the cure rate of cancer will be able to increase to 80%-90%. With the rapid development and maturity of nano technology and scientific theory, Up-conversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) have become a tumor nanoplatform which can be used for early diagnosis and treatment.The review summarizes the progress of Up-conversion nanoparticles in detection and treatment of tumor in some research.
