Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Nanotechnology has become a game changer, providing innovative solutions to address the pressing challenges in bio-sensing, imaging, and cancer therapy. Nanotechnology, particularly bio-nanotechnology, employs specific identification, precise labelling, flexible imaging, and effective therapeutic capabilities. They can be combined with physicochemical sensors and micro/nano tools to provide user-friendly diagnostic and medical treatments systems, with an ever-expanding range of applications to improve people’s health, well-being, and the environment. In addition, the development of advanced bio-responsive nanomaterial-based diagnostic/therapeutic probes has enabled precise target bioimaging and smart nano-medicine. Moreover, combination with machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) has enabled the effective use of bio-nanotechnology for the rapid and accurate diagnosis and effective treatment of malignant tumours, neurodegenerative diseases, and other difficult-to-treat diseases.

This Special Issue invites researchers and practitioners to submit original research papers and review articles on advanced nanotechnology use in biosensing, imaging, and cancer therapy. We look forward to applications, including, but not limited to, smart materials, microfluidic chips, single/dual/multimodality imaging, artificial intelligence (AI), tumor photothermal/photodynamic therapy, tumor gene therapy, tumor immunotherapy, and so on.

Cancers of unknown primary (CUP) exhibit significant cellular heterogeneity and malignancy, which poses significant challenges for diagnosis and treatment. Recent years have seen deeper insights into the imaging, pathology, and genetic characteristics of CUP, driven by interdisciplinary collaboration and the evolution of diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. However, due to their insidious onset, lack of evidence-based medicine, and limited clinical understanding, diagnosing and treating CUP remain a significant challenge. To inspire more creative and fantastic research, herein, we report and highlight recent advances in the diagnosis and therapeutic strategies of CUP. Specifically, we discuss advanced diagnostic technologies, including 12-deoxy-2-[fluorine-18]fluoro-D-glucose integrated with computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) or 68Ga-FAPI (fibroblast activation protein inhibitor) PET/CT, liquid biopsy, molecular diagnostics, self-assembling nanotechnology, and artificial intelligence (AI). In particular, the discussion will extend to the effective treatment techniques currently available, such as targeted therapies, immunotherapies, and bio-nanotechnology-based therapeutics. Finally, a novel perspective on the challenges and directions for future CUP diagnostic and therapeutic strategies is discussed. Full article
