Synopsis

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.

From the Back Cover

Cancer Theranostics, Second Edition continues to provide current and concise information making ita readily available reference for the identification of novel biomarkers to advance molecular diagnostics of cancer.

The new ediiton encompasses new molecular imaging probes and techniques for early detection of cancer and describes molecular imaging-guided cancer therapy. Discussion also includes 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, the streamlined structure of the chapters leading 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 hold completely new content on DNA and RNA theranostics. New features in this title are several case studies.

In five sections and 26 chapters Cancer Theranostics, Second Edition, reviews, assesses, and makes pertinent clinical recommendations on the integration of comprehensive in vitro diagnostics, in vivo molecular imaging, and individualized treatments towards the personalization of cancer treatment.

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 scientist, medical physicists and physician scientists in cancer experimental therapeutics and molecular imaging.
