- Abstract
- The field of medicine has the potential to take very significant benefits from the
latest advances in nanotechnology applications, including early disease detection,
personalized treatment and accurate patient follow-up. The innovative idea of
\"nanomedicine\" is actually emerging, and it is expected to revolutionize several
traditional concepts, starting from cancer management protocols. The possibility of
manufacturing nanoparticle contrast agents that can be selectively targeted to specific
pathological cells, in fact, has extended molecular imaging applications to non-ionizing
techniques and, at the same time, has introduced the exciting perspective of combining
highly accurate diagnoses and personalized therapies in single \"theranostic\"
interventions. Main developing applications of nanosized theranostic agents include
targeted molecular imaging, controlled drug release, therapeutic monitoring, guidance of
radiation-based treatments and surgical interventions. This chapter introduces recent
nanotechnological applications in the field of cancer molecular imaging employing nonionizing
techniques and disease-specific contrast agents, with special focus on innovative
theranostic strategies for selective cancer detection and simultaneous treatment. (literal)
