In recent years, the deep integration of basic research and clinical translational research of nanotechnology and oncology has led to the emergence of a new branch, namely integrated nano-oncology. This is an emerging and important interdisciplinary field, which plays an irreplaceable role in the diagnosis, treatment, early warning, monitoring and prevention of tumors, and has become a new interdisciplinary frontier. Here main advances of integrated nano-oncology was reviewed, mainly included controlled preparation of nanomaterials, ultra-sensitive detection of tumor biomarkers, multi-functional nanoimaging probes and integrated diagnosis and treatment technology, innovative nano drugs and nano drug delivery system, DNA nanotechnology, RNA nanotechnology, nano self-assembly technology, nanosensors, intelligent nanorobots, nanotherapeutic machines. The terms, concepts, trends and challenges are also discussed with the aim of promoting the application of nanotechnology in integrated oncology and solving the scientific and key technical problems in basic and clinical translational research of cancer.
