Theragnosis: Nanoparticles as a Tool for Simultaneous Therapy and Diagnosis

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Nanoscale Materials in Targeted Drug Delivery, Theragnosis and Tissue Regeneration

Abstract

Theragnostic NPs give new hope in simultaneous diagnosis and therapy of a disease at curable stage. Theragnosis is the fundamental requirement of personalized medicine. For successful theragnosis applications, the imaging agents and drugs should be efficiently delivered, resulting in adequate imaging signal or drug concentration in the targeted disease site. The selection of NPs for imaging, diagnosis and therapy was based on their biomimetic features with higher surface to volume ratio of the nanomaterials. The essential properties of nanomedicines involve early and precise diagnosis of clinical conditions providing an efficient treatment without secondary effects. Thus, nanotheragnostic probes are much better than conventional treatments where the diagnosis and therapy are way apart from each other. This chapter briefs about the recent advancement of nanotheragnosis research with future scope and associated hurdles.
