In recent years, the rapid advancement of nanotechnology and tumor biology has significantly expanded the application of nanomaterials in cancer therapy, particularly through the induction of programmed cell death (PCD) in cancer cells. Layered double hydroxides (LDH), a class of two-dimensional inorganic nanomaterials, have attracted considerable attention due to its tunable structures, excellent biocompatibility, and superior drug delivery capabilities. Emerging research has highlighted the great potential of LDH in modulating various forms of PCD. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of recent progress in the use of LDH to regulate different PCD pathways in cancer cells, including apoptosis, autophagy, ferroptosis, cuproptosis and pyroptosis. It emphasizes the underlying mechanisms of action, material design strategies, and the application of LDH in precise cancer therapy. Finally, this review is concluded with perspectives on the key challenges and bottlenecks of bioactive LDH in cancer therapy, providing potential solutions and outlining future perspectives.

Wearable bioelectronics have transformed modern biomedical applications by enabling seamless integration with biological tissues, providing continuous, comprehensive, and personalized healthcare. Skin cancer, particularly melanoma, poses a significant clinical challenge due to its high metastatic potential and associated mortality. Traditional diagnostic approaches face limitations in accuracy, accessibility, and reproducibility, while existing treatments are often constrained by systemic toxicity and therapeutic resistance.

Gestational trophoblastic tumors (GTTs) encompass a spectrum of neoplastic conditions, including invasive mole, choriocarcinoma, placental site trophoblastic tumor, and epithelioid trophoblastic tumor. Invasive mole, which frequently develops following a complete hydatidiform mole, represents the most common form. A cancer diagnosis constitutes a profoundly destabilizing experience, often resulting in considerable psychological distress.

Background: Sarcomas are rare cancer with a heterogeneous group of tumors. They affect both genders across all age groups and present significant heterogeneity, with more than 70 histological subtypes. Despite tailored treatments, the high metastatic potential of sarcomas remains a major factor in poor patient survival, as metastasis is often the leading cause of death.

Background: Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) typically responds well to a combination of treatments with favorable prognosis in children 1 to 9 years old. However, infants may fare worse due to receiving less aggressive local therapy for concerns about long-term effects of surgery/radiation. This study investigates the clinical characteristics, treatment approach, and survival outcomes of RMS in children under 2.

Purpose: Gender bias against girls may affect health-seeking behavior and outcomes of childhood cancer. This study aimed to study the nature and extent of gender bias in health care among caregivers of childhood patients with cancer and also in community.
Methods: This cross-sectional mixed-methods study was conducted in a tertiary cancer hospital and an urban community between July 2021 and July 2023.
