摘要

Prostate cancer is a leading cause of mortality among men worldwide, particularly in the USA and European nations, with an estimated 1.9 million new cases and over 580,000 deaths annually, according to recent global statistics. The treatment of prostate tumors presents significant clinical challenges, due to the disease’s high metastatic potential, specifically to vital organs, such as the liver, lungs, bones, and brain. The intrinsic heterogeneity of prostate cancer cells, characterized by diverse genetic, molecular, and phenotypic profiles, complicates conventional therapeutic strategies, highlighting the need for advanced diagnostic and treatment modalities. Nanoparticles play a critical role in oncology field due to their unique physicochemical properties, including high surface area-to-volume ratio and the ability to be functionalized with targeting ligands. Metallic-based nanoparticles exhibits significant potential for applications in field of nanomedicine, drug delivery systems, gene silencing methods, radiotherapy enhancement, cancer diagnostics, and targeted therapeutic interventions. Metal nanoparticles have substantially improved the sensitivity and specificity of major imaging modalities and have demonstrated remarkable efficacy as biosensors for the detection of prostate cancer-specific biomarkers. This review article provides an in-depth analysis of the utilization of metal nanomaterials in prostate cancer, focusing on their roles in enhancing therapeutic efficacy, advancing diagnostic precision, and supporting the development of novel treatment strategies.
