Abstract

The current treatments of metastatic malignant melanoma include chemotherapy,targeted therapy,immune therapy and radiation therapy,but the treatment outcome is far from optimism.In order to im-prove the treatment efficiency,it is urgent to improve early diagnosis,and develop more effective treatment drugs and delivery systems.The application of nanotechnology in the diagnosis and therapy of melanoma can re-duce the resistance to the drugs,increase efficacy and reduce side effects.
