Advancements in Cancer Theranostics: Integrating Imaging and Intervention

by Rajendra Prasad Murali Mohan Yallapu

Over the past 25 years, approximately 300 nanosized imaging and therapeutic probes have entered clinical trials, yet only about 25 have met the requirements for FDA approval. Despite extensive literature in the field, no existing book or article comprehensively covers the broad spectrum of nanomedicine examples that integrate multimodal imaging and therapeutic applications. This book fills that gap by presenting diverse examples of surface-engineered functional nano(bio)medicines and discussing the challenges associated with their development.

It outlines the roadmap of cancer nanomedicine by focusing on:
(i) the fundamental design and bioengineering of safe nanomedicines;
(ii) physicochemical principles of surface-engineered systems and their characteristics;
(iii) representative cases of site-specific bioimaging and multimodal therapies;
(iv) stimuli-responsive strategies for targeted drug delivery;
(v) targeted therapeutic approaches for cancer cells and solid tumor ablation;
(vi) mechanisms governing targeted administration of biomedicines;
(vii) the role of surface modification in enhancing site-selective tumor binding; and
(viii) requirements for clinical translation, including clinical trials and FDA approval.

These key topics are explored through contributions from leading research groups specializing in surface chemistry, oncomedicine, multimodal diagnostics and therapeutics, and nanomedicine.

Overall, this book aims to provide a comprehensive validation of cancer nanomedicine for advanced therapeutic approaches. It is intended for biomedical scientists, oncologists, researchers, and graduate students working in the areas of nanomedicine and nanotheranostics.
