  • 1973 Accesses

Abstract

Theranostics is a portmanteau of thera(py) and (diag)nostics. It is an interdisciplinary field of research that unites pharmaceutical technology, chemistry, imaging, and medicine with the purpose of creating a single drug delivery system able to diagnose, treat, and monitor disease. In this chapter, the reader will be presented with an overview of the state-of-the-art developments in theranostics in which clinically relevant imaging modalities are combined with polymers, lipid-based systems, inorganic assemblies, antibody conjugates, and gene delivery vehicles. Here, special emphasis will be placed on the systems tested in vivo.
