RISE OF 2D MATERIALS TECHNOLOGY AND ITS POTENTIAL IN THE CANCER TREATMENT

Joshua Anthony Vomo * and Milly Gladys Iteriteka

ABSTRACT

The technology of 2D nanomaterials has gained importance and research interest in the pharmaceutical field due to its therapeutic value in various areas. 2D nanomaterials have attracted interest in biomedicine in areas such as biosensor, drug carrier and nanomedicine. In the treatment and diagnosis of cancer, 2D nanomaterials are used as a novel technology with high efficacy. 2D nanomaterials are used in the production of biosensors based on biomarkers, which are very effective compared to conventional biosensors. 2D nanomaterials are used in drug delivery as nanocarriers and are more effective due to their biocompatibility and biodegradability. 2D nanomaterials are used in novel anticancer drugs such as photothermal therapy, photodynamic therapy and combined cancer therapy, which has been shown to be effective and less harmful in various studies. In this review, we focus on the emerging 2D drug technology and its potential anti-cancer effects.
