The emergence of 2D materials has opened up potential applications in nanomedicine and biomaterials, with the hope that they can overcome some of the inherent limitations of conventional theranostic materials. In recent years, MXenes, with their layered structure and unique features, have been proposed as an attractive alternative to traditional theranostic materials. These materials possess very low thickness and a high surface area, allowing them to interact effectively with biological tissues. Additionally, they exhibit excellent optical and electronic properties that can be utilized in imaging and targeted treatments. MXenes and their composites serve as effective contrast agents in medical imaging. Furthermore, these materials demonstrate high stability and safety, making them suitable for use in biological environments. In this review article, the electronic and optical properties of titanium carbide MXene as well as its synthesis and production methods have been investigated. Also, some of its novel applications in biomedicine, including biosensing capabilities, bioimaging, cancer diagnosis, drug delivery, etc., have been discussed. Given the outstanding characteristics of MXenes, it is anticipated that they will find increasing applications in medicine and biomedicine in the near future. This advancement can help improve the accuracy of diagnoses and the efficiency of treatments, leading to the development of new methods in medicine.
