Description

The innovative synthetic approaches coupled with bioengineering aptitude created multiple functional materials in the nanoscale dimension aiming for a combination of therapeutic and diagnostic capacities, often referred to as nanotheranostics. The diverse role played by nanomaterials has been broadly examined in biomedicine, especially in the disciplines of imaging and drug delivery. In this view, cancer is an intimidating foe to the entire human species by adopting various survival skills. Conventional therapies remain to be a failure in meeting the anticipations of the entire medical community. Stepping to the emphasis on cancer nanotheranostics, which requires more advancement to amalgamate and fine-tune diagnosis and therapy, has already attracted significant research interest among researchers in chemistry, material science, life science, and clinicians. Monitoring the therapeutic response in a real-time manner with the intelligent fabrication of nanotheranostic agents could strike down the daunting claws of cancer by facilitating personalized treatment approaches. Here, we aimed to portrait the key approaches and recent developments in nanotheranostics with a focus on its clinical impact in oncology. 2024 Elsevier Inc.
