Abstract

Prostate cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in men, which seriously threatens the survival and quality of life of patients. At present, there are serious limitations in the treatment of prostate cancer, such as drug tolerance, drug resistance and easy recurrence. Sonodynamic therapy and chemodynamic therapy are two emerging tumor treatment methods, which activate specific drugs or sonosensitizers through sound waves or chemicals to produce reactive oxygen species and kill tumor cells. Nanomaterials are a kind of nano-scale materials with many excellent physical properties such as high targeting, drug release regulation and therapeutic monitoring. Sonodynamic therapy and chemodynamic therapy combined with the application of nanomaterials can improve the therapeutic effect of prostate cancer, reduce side effects and enhance tumor immune response. This article reviews the application progress of nanomaterials in the treatment of prostate cancer, especially the mechanism, advantages and challenges of nanomaterials in sonodynamic therapy and chemodynamic therapy, which provides new ideas and prospects for research in this field.
