Aiding researchers seeking to eliminate multi-step procedures, reduce delays in treatment and ease patient care, "Cancer Theranostics" reviews, assesses, and makes pertinent clinical recommendations on the integration of comprehensive in vitro diagnostics, in vivo molecular imaging, and individualized treatments towards the personalization of cancer treatment.

"Cancer Theranostics" describes the identification of novel biomarkers to advance molecular diagnostics of cancer. The book encompasses new molecular imaging probes and techniques for early detection of cancer, and describes molecular imaging-guided cancer therapy. Discussion also includes nanoplatforms incorporating both cancer imaging and therapeutic components, as well as clinical translation and future perspectives.
Supports elimination of multi-step approaches and reduces delays in treatments through combinatorial diagnosis and therapyFully assesses cancer theranostics across the emergent field, with discussion of biomarkers, molecular imaging, imaging guided therapy, nanotechnology, and personalized medicine Content bridges laboratory, clinic, and biotechnology industries to advance biomedical science and improve patient management

Cancer Theranostics, Second Edition continues to provide current and concise information making ita readily available reference for the identification of novel biomarkers to advance molecular diagnostics of cancer. The new ediiton encompasses new molecular imaging probes and techniques for early detection of cancer and describes molecular imaging-guided cancer therapy. Discussion also includes nanoplatforms incorporating both cancer imaging and therapeutic components, as well as clinical translation and future perspectives. New to this edition is the inclusion of recent developments, the streamlined structure of the chapters leading the reader through the content more intuitively from problem to solution. More illustrations of different forms of cancer theranostics??are included and this edition also hold completely new content on DNA and RNA theranostics. New features in this title are several case studies.
