Progress in application of nanotechnology in diagnosis and treatment of liver diseases. (English)

With the development of nanotechnology, its application in medical fields has attracted increasing attention from medical workers. Reviews the application of nanotechnology in the diagnosis and treatment of liver diseases in recent years, and expounds the advantages of nanotechnology in clinical application from the aspects of imaging diagnosis, laboratory diagnosis, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, thermotherapy, genetherapy, and soon, with an emphasis on its application in the diagnosis and treatment of liver cancer and viral hepatitis. The article indicates that join tuse of nanotechnology and various examinations, tests, orclinical medications will greatly improve the accuracy and effectiveness of diagnosis and treatment of diseases. However, because of the immaturity of nanotechnology and the shortage of medical knowledge, the development of nanotechnology is still restricted at present. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
