About this ebook

Cancer Theranostics, Second Edition provide updates on new molecular imaging probes and techniques for early detection of cancer and describes molecular imaging-guided cancer therapy. Discussions also include 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 and a streamlined structure that leads 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 contains completely new content on DNA and RNA theranostics. In addition, new case studies are featured.This new edition is published in time to meet the needs of medical researchers in a comprehensive manner, encompassing diagnostics, in vivo imaging and its use for image-guided therapy, and a variety of other miscellaneous subjects. This book is a must-have for all research scientists, medical physicists, and physician scientists in cancer experimental therapeutics and molecular imaging. - Describes the identification of novel biomarkers to advance molecular diagnostics of cancer - ​Includes the latest developments in liquid biopsy, new imaging techniques such as magnetic particle imaging, artificial intelligence, different types of image-guided interventions and drug delivery, and new forms of theranostics, including the most recent mRNA based theranostics - ​Gives various, novel forms of cancer interventions and treatments - ​Provides clinical translation of different types of cancer theranostics platforms
