| Abstract Scope |
The advancement of cancer treatment has been significantly influenced by the exploration of nanoparticles, which promise to enhance traditional therapeutic approaches. This review focuses on iron-silver (Fe-Ag) nanocomposites, which have emerged as a versatile tool in anticancer therapy due to their unique multifunctional properties. Fe-Ag nanocomposites combine the magnetic properties of iron with the anticancer attributes of silver, allowing for precise targeting, localized treatment, and enhanced therapeutic efficacy. The magnetic properties of iron facilitate targeted drug delivery and magnetic hyperthermia, while silver contributes to anticancer effects through its well-established biological activity. This review examines the synthesis, characterization, and applications of Fe-Ag nanocomposites in cancer therapy, including their role in enhancing heating efficiency through magnetic hyperthermia and photothermal therapy. It also discusses the challenges and opportunities associated with translating these nanocomposites from laboratory research to clinical applications, highlighting the need for comprehensive preclinical studies, standardized production protocols, and regulatory approvals. |
