Cancer theranostics: the rise of targeted magnetic nanoparticles

Open access
Cole, Adam J., Yang, Victor C., David, Allan E.·2011·Trends in Biotechnology

Abstract

Interest in utilizing magnetic nanoparticles (MNP) for biomedical applications has grown considerably over the past two decades. This excitement is driven in large part by the success of MNPs as contrast agents in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The recent investigative trend with respect to cancer has continued down a diagnostic path, but has also turned toward concurrent therapy – giving rise to the distinction of MNPs as potential “theranostics”. Here we review both the key technical principles of MNPs and the ongoing advancement toward a cancer theranostic MNP. Recent progress in diagnostics, hyperthermia treatments, and drug delivery are all considered. We conclude by identifying current barriers to clinical translation of MNPs and offer considerations for their future development.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
