The role of nanotechnology in cancer treatment and diagnosis, especially in the creation of new generation cancer
diagnostic and therapeutic instruments, has attracted a lot of attention in recent years. Attempts to incorporate
therapeutic and diagnostic properties in a single efficient nanomedicine solution have been made in large numbers. This
concept, coined "theranostics," is a smart nanosystem capable of diagnosing, successful dissemination, and
therapeutic reaction tracking. By integrating clinical functionality with molecular imaging, therapeutic interventions can
be useful in the selection of medication, treatment preparation, objective response control and follow-up planning based
on the specific molecular characteristics of the disorder. Here, we summarize a number of recent efforts in this regard
and demonstrate that therapeutic systems.. View more»
