Abstract

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the fifth commonly diagnosed cancer and the second leading cause of death in the world. Despite many advances in the treatment of HCC, there are some limitations especially for terminal ill patients. This report comprehensively evaluates the application of nanoparticles for treatment and shows its versatility, which can be considered as a smart tool in the treatment of this complex disease. This review also emphasize the effectiveness in the application of different nanoparticles  in the treatment and support of HCC in vitro and in vivo and understanding the role of nanoparticles and develop a new therapy in HCC treatment.
