Theranostics is a promising branch of nuclear medicine that uses radiopharmaceuticals for diagnosis and treatment cancer, immunotheranostics special area in it. The aim the study was to summarise potential theranostics visualisation tumour microenvironment elimination its immunosuppressive components. article presents up-to-date information on composition interaction various cell subpopulations...

This theme issue provides a timely collection of studies on magnetic nanoparticle-based imaging, bio-sensing, therapy and/or their combinations.

The therapeutic efficacy of photodynamic therapy is limited by the ability light to penetrate tissues. Due this limitation, Cerenkov luminescence (CL) from radionuclides has recently been proposed as an alternative source in a strategy referred radiation-induced (CRIT). Semiconducting polymer nanoparticles (SPNs) have ideal optical properties, such large absorption cross-sections and broad abso...

T he SNMMI 2018 Mid-Winter Symposium and American College of Nuclear Medicine (ACNM) Annual Meeting will be held at the Hilton Orlando Lake Buena Vista in Orlando, FL. This year, the SNMMI format will be different. Now called a symposium, it will have a single track on theranostics and will begin on Thursday afternoon, January 25, and conclude on Saturday evening, January 27—eliminating Sunday ...

Ideal theranostics should possess directly correlated imaging and therapy modalities that could be simultaneously activated in the disease site to generate high imaging contrast and therapeutic efficacy with minimal side effects. However, so far it still remains challenging to engineer all these characteristics into a single theranostic probe. Herein, we report a new type of photosensitizer (PS...

Theranostics are drugs suitable for use in both diagnostic and therapeutic applications, have played an important role the advancement of modern nuclear medicine. This review explains key elements that common to successful theranostics highlights significant developments field, including our own. Specific focus is given peptides those features make them most theranostic application, as well som...
