Abstract:
In recent years, there have been significant advancements in the nanotechnology for cancer therapy. Even though
molybdenum disulphide (MoS2)-based nanocomposites demonstrated extensive applications in biosensing,
bioimaging, phototherapy, the review article focusing on MoS2 nanocomposite platform has not been accounted
for yet. The review summarizes recent strategies on design and fabrication of MoS2-based nanocomposites and
their modulated properties in cancer treatment. The review also discussed several therapeutic strategies (photothermal, photodynamic, immunotherapy, gene therapy and chemotherapy) and their combinations for efficient
cancer therapy along with certain case studies. The review also inculcates various diagnostic techniques viz.
magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, photoacoustic imaging and fluorescence imaging for
diagnosis of cancer.
