Cisplatin chemoradiotherapy (CRT) is the established standard of care for managing locally advanced human papillomavirus-positive head/neck carcinoma. The typically young patients may suffer serious and long-time side effects caused by treatment, such as dysphagia, hearing loss. Thus, ensuring a satisfactory post-treatment quality life paramount. One potential replacing approach to classical CRT involves combination standard-dose radiotherapy radiosensitizers noble metal nanoparticles (NPs). However, several concerns about size, shape, biocompatibility limit translation nanomaterials clinical practice. Here, it demonstrated that new model nonpersistent gold nanoarchitectures containing cisplatin (NAs-Cluster-CisPt) generates, in with radiotherapy, significant vivo tumor-reducing effect compared CRT, achieving complete tumor clearance 25% immunocompetent models persist 60 days. These findings, together negligible amount metals recognized excretory organs, highlight concurrent administration NAs-Cluster-CisPt has overcome some limitations associated NP-based approaches while enhancing treatment outcome respect CRT. Overall, despite further mechanistic investigations being essential, these data support exploiting metal-nanomaterial-mediated oral cancer management.

Abstract The combination of photoacoustic imaging (PAI) and photothermal therapy (PTT) is an attractive approach in cancer management due to the non‐invasive features combined with real‐time selective tissue damage by non‐ionizing radiation. This especially appealing for Head Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC) management, where up 40% patients require modifications treatment regimen. On other hand, most agents developed PAI/PTT suffer from persistence or re‐shaping issues. Here, a unique non‐persistent plasmon nano‐architecture ( t NAs‐IRDye) presented that simultaneously acts as contrast agent PAI transducer PTT. NAs‐IRDye are fully characterized evaluated vitro ex vivo, their performance theranostic assessed HPV‐negative HNSCC murine models. A significant modulation tumor growth obtained vivo upon intratumoral injection subsequent NIR irradiation compared solely irradiated control. outcomes this study exhibit noteworthy potential foster development innovative clinical strategies head neck carcinoma.

Head and neck squamous cell carcinomas are characterized by a high incidence of recurrence, especially in patients with locally advanced disease. Standard treatment strategies can be associated severe side effects to healthy tissues that negatively impact the patient's quality life. Hyperthermia (HT) is noninvasive modality has improved effectiveness chemotherapy (CT) and/or radiotherapy (RT) for management some solid neoplasms. In this context, association approach rationally designed nanomaterials may further enhance outcome. study, we demonstrate enhanced effect neoadjuvant HT combination hybrid nanoarchitectures enclosing cisplatin prodrug (NAs-CisPt) RT. All treatments their combinations have been fully evaluated employing standardized chorioallantoic membrane tumor models HPV-negative head carcinoma. An tumor-shrinking was observed administration trimodal (HT/NAs-CisPt/RT), which also highlighted significant increase apoptosis. Our findings nanotechnology-based CT RT certain order enhances vivo On broader basis, study paves way next exploration approaches clinical oral cancer based on innovative strategies.
