Title: Two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenide nanomaterials for combination cancer therapy

Abstract: As demonstrated bypreclinical and clinical studies, it is often difficult to eradicate tumors,particularly those that are deep-located, with photothermal therapy (PTT) alonebecause of the intrinsic drawbacks of optical therapy. To increase thetherapeutic effect of PTT and reduce its significant side-effects, a new directioninvolving the combination of PTT with other therapeutic techniques is highlydesirable. Recently, two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides(TMDCs), the typical ultrathin 2D layer nanomaterials, have gained tremendousinterest in many different fields including biomedicine, due to their novelphysicochemical properties. Benefitting from their intrinsic near-infraredabsorbance properties and extremely large specific surface areas, many effortsare being devoted to fabricating 2D TMDC-based multifunctional nanoplatformsfor combining PTT with other therapeutics in order to realize 2D TMDC assisted combinationtherapy and thus achieve excellent anti-tumor therapeutic efficacy. Inaddition, various inorganic nanoparticles and fluorescent probes can beattached to the surface of 2D TMDCs to obtain nanocomposites with versatileoptical and/or magnetic properties that are useful for multi-modal imaging andimaging-guided cancer therapy. In this review, we mainly summarize the latestadvances in the utilization of 2D TMDCs for PTT combination cancer therapy,including PTT/photodynamic therapy, PTT/chemotherapy, PTT/radiotherapy,PTT/gene therapy, and imaging-guided cancer combination therapy, as well as theevaluation of their behaviors and toxicology both in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, we address the principle for the design of 2D TMDC-assistedphotothermal combination theranostics and the future prospects and challengesof using 2D TMDC-based nanomaterials for theranostic applications.
