Abstract
Gastric cancer (GC) is a formidable adversary in the field of oncology. The low early diagnosis rate of GC results in a low overall survival rate. Therefore, early accurate diagnosis and effective treatment are the key to reduce the mortality of GC. With the advent of nanotechnology, researchers continue to explore new possibilities for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment. One such breakthrough is the application of DNA nanotechnology. In this paper, the application of exciting DNA nanomaterials in the diagnosis and treatment of GC is discussed in depth. Firstly, the biomarkers related to GC and the diagnostic strategies related to DNA nanotechnology are summarized. Second, the latest research progress of DNA nanomaterials in the GC targeted therapy are summarized. Finally, the challenges and opportunities of DNA nanomaterials in the research and clinical application of GC are prospected.
