Abstract

The integration of nanotechnology into cancer treatment has revolutionized chemotherapy, boosted its effectiveness while reduced side effects. Among the various nanotherapeutic approaches, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) stand out as promising carriers for targeted chemotherapy, with the added benefit of enabling combination therapies. MOFs, composed of metal ions or clusters linked by coordination bonds, tackle critical issues in traditional cancer treatments, such as poor stability, limited efficacy, and severe side effects. Their key advantages include customizable size and shape, diverse compositions, controlled porosity, large surface areas, ease of modification, and biocompatibility. This review highlights recent advancements in the use of MOFs for cancer therapy, showcasing their role in both monotherapies and combination strategies. Additionally, it explores the future potential and challenges of MOF-based platforms in tumor treatment.
