Summary:
Nowadays, bone cancer is a major issue especially for young people. Common diagnosis and therapeutic methods are not entirely effective as they lack adequate precision and efficacy. Novel nanostructures have drawn widespread attention due to their broad applications in tumor diagnosis and therapy. In the present review, the impact of nanotechnology in diagnosis and treatment of bone cancer is discussed. A plethora of nanostructures and their applications in diagnosis, treatment as well as in theranostics for bone tumor diagnosis, treatment and regeneration of bone defects is described in order to provide an outlook for all nanoscientists. In addition, reference is made in toxicity of the nanostructures utilized in medical applications. The literature review revealed that nontechnology based methods for imaging and treatment of bone tumor could provide earlier diagnosis and more effective therapy compared with up-to now existing methods. However, the toxicity of nanostructures remains a longstanding challenge for the research community.
