摘要: Many new therapies are currently being used to treat cancer. Among these methods, chemotherapy based on peptides has been of great interest due the unique advantages peptides, such as a low molecular weight, ability specifically target tumor cells, and toxicity in normal tissues. In treating cancer, peptide-based can be mainly divided into three types, peptide-alone therapy, peptide vaccines, peptide-conjugated nanomaterials. Peptide-alone therapy may enhance immune system's response kill cells. Peptide-based vaccines have advanced cancers improve patients' overall survival. Additionally, combination with nanomaterials expands therapeutic cancer by enhancing drug delivery sensitivity. this review, we focus advances application recent years, including diagnosis, treatment, prognosis.
