متن کاملTheranostic Applications of Microbubble Sonography in Oncology
For purposes of this short communication, sonographic (ultrasound) techniques that utilize microbubbles (MB) is referred to as microbubble sonography (MBS). MBS has important diagnostic and therapeutic (thus the term "theranostic") clinical applications in targeted or “personalized” oncology. For diagnosis, MBS provides detailed depiction of tumor microvascularity and a means to monitor its res...
متن کاملTheranostic Applications of Neurotensin
Targeted theranostics is increasingly attractive in the cancer field to reduce off-target effects and provide rapid diagnosis. Neurotensin (NT) and its derivatives target neuortensin receptor 1 (NTS1) which has strong, selective, aberrant expression in certain tumour cells. This commentary briefly describes the advantages of targeting using the NT/NTS1 pairing and discusses a recent article on ...
متن کاملFrom molecular imaging in preclinical/clinical oncology to theranostic applications in targeted tumor therapy.
BACKGROUND The impact of constantly developing molecular sciences on the various imaging modalities (particularly nuclear, magnetic resonance-based, optical techniques) has produced the beginning of a new complex science - the molecular imaging - that, through the exploitation of specific molecule-probes instead of nonspecific conventional contrast materials, is aimed at the characterization of...
متن کاملTherapeutic Applications of Monoclonal Antibodies in Multiple Sclerosis
Despite the various therapies available, the use of monoclonal antibodies is a highly specific approach that has only recently been of interest to researchers. The properties of antibodies have led to their use in the treatment of various diseases, including cancer, Alzheimer's disease, diabetes and multiple sclerosis (MS). MS, a chronic inflammatory disease, occurs commonly in young adults. Th...
