The Contribution of Nanomedicine in Ocular Oncology.

ABSTRACT: Nanomedicine is a novel and emerging field that has noted significant progress in both the fields of ophthalmology and cancer treatment. Expanding into ocular oncology, it holds the potential to overcome the limitations of conventional therapies, such as poor drug penetration due to anatomical and physiological ocular barriers and insufficient targeting, which can lead to collateral damage to healthy tissues. By reviewing a series of clinical and preclinical studies, we aim to outline the recent advancements, current trends and future perspectives in nanomedicine for ocular cancer treatment. Beyond improving the existing therapies, like chemotherapy, phototherapies and brachytherapy, nanomedicine enables multimodal applications by combining multiple treatments or integrating imaging for th
