[PMID: 39100279 PMCID: PMC11296058 DOI: 10.1016/j.mtbio.2024.101149] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/15/2024] [Revised: 07/01/2024] [Accepted: 07/07/2024] [Indexed: 08/06/2024] Open
Abstract
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is recognized as one of the three primary malignant tumors affecting the urinary system, posing a significant risk to human health and life. Despite advancements in understanding RCC, challenges persist in its diagnosis and treatment, particularly in early detection and diagnosis due to issues of low specificity and sensitivity. Consequently, there is an urgent need for the development of effective strategies to enhance diagnostic accuracy and treatment outcomes for RCC. In recent years, with the extensive research on materials for applications in the biomedical field, some materials have been identified as promising for clinical applications, e.g., in the diagnosis and treatment of many tumors, including RCC. Herein, we summarize the latest materials that are being studied and have been applied in the early diagnosis and treatment of RCC. While focusing on their adjuvant effects, we also discuss their technical principles and safety, thus highlighting the value and potential of their application. In addition, we also discuss the limitations of the application of these materials and possible future directions, providing new insights for improving RCC diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
The kidney is a vital organ responsible for maintaining homeostasis in the human body. However, renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a common malignancy of the urinary system and represents a serious threat to human health. Although the overall survival of RCC has improved substantially with the development of cancer diagnosis and management, there are various reasons for treatment failure. Firstly, without any readily available biomarkers, timely diagnosis has been greatly hampered. Secondly, the imaging appearance also varies greatly, and its early detection often remains difficult. Thirdly, chemotherapy has been validated as unavailable for treating renal cancer in the clinic due to its intrinsic drug resistance. Concomitant with the progress of nanotechnological methods in pharmaceuticals, the management of kidney cancer has undergone a transformation in the recent decade. Nanotechnology has shown many advantages over widely used traditional methods, leading to broad biomedical applications ranging from drug delivery, prevention, diagnosis to treatment. This review focuses on nanotechnologies in RCC management and further discusses their biomedical translation with the aim of identifying the most promising nanomedicines for clinical needs. As our understanding of nanotechnologies continues to grow, more opportunities to improve the management of renal cancer are expected to emerge.
