Cancer is the second leading cause of death globally and estimated number new cancer cases deaths will be ∼30.2 million 16.3 million, respectively, by 2040. These numbers massive, physical, emotional, financial burdens to society healthcare system that lead further research for a better more effective therapeutic strategy manage cancer. Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are promising alternative approaches efficient drug delivery theranostics owing their unique properties direct transportation drugs into cells followed controlled release, but they suffer from certain limitations like rigidity, poor dispersibility, fragility, aggregation probability, limited surface accessibility. Therefore, MOFs were conjugated with polymeric hydrogels, formation MOF-based hydrogels abundant absorption sites, flexibility, excellent mechanical properties. This review briefly describes different strategies used synthesis characterization hydrogels. Further, we place special emphasis on recent advances in cancers. Finally, conclude challenges future perspectives We believe this help researchers develop augmented anticancer effects, enabling management even without adverse effects.

Aggregate, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: April 11, 2025

ABSTRACT Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) is an innovative cancer modality that harnesses the energy of ultrasound to activate sonosensitizers for producing reactive oxygen species (ROS), culminating in eradication tumor cells. Compared with photodynamic therapy, SDT has capacity penetrate deeply into biological tissues, thereby holding significant promise addressing situated or surgically inaccessible tumors. The effectiveness greatly dependent on characteristics sonosensitizers, and unlike inorganic organic offer a more controlled synthesis process have excellent biocompatibility. This review presents meticulous undertaking categorize elucidate their mechanisms action therapeutic effects context SDT. Design strategies are also summarized, we emphasize critical role nanotechnology localization, imaging, multimodal synergistic offering approach achieving precise targeting. In addition, impact delineated when integrated other oncological modalities, such as photothermal enhance efficacy. Finally, discusses challenges future perspectives advancement clinical within realm oncology.
