Platelets: Novel Biomaterials for Cancer Diagnosis and Therapeutic Delivery

Platelets, particularly tumor-educated platelets (TEPs), play a crucial role in cancer diagnosis and treatment. TEPs undergo molecular changes in RNA and protein profiles, making them valuable biomarkers for diagnosis, prognosis, and monitoring. In nanomedicine, platelets serve as drug carriers in tumor-targeted nanomaterials, enhancing specificity and accuracy. Integrating liquid biopsy with nanotechnology offers promising potential in precision oncology.
