Theranostics: A Boon in Cancer Diagnosis and Therapy

Abstract

Modern approaches in improvement of new nanomaterials have gained enormous attention due to various biomedical application, along with cancer theranostics. The characteristic physico-chemical feature of these materials, including their small size and wide-range surface-to-volume ratio provide potentiality for cancer theranostics that combine diagnosis , biosensing , imaging detection and immune therapy.Recent procurement for cancer immunotherapy have gained considerable attention in controlling the body’s immune system to fight against cancer.In this abstract , nanomedicine with inherent immunomodulatory properties presents interesting window(of opportunity) which can stimulate the function of immune cell. The goal is to cover broad range of information about the immunomodulation properties of nanomedicine in cancer theranostics i.e factors like pH, hypoxia, tumor angiogenesis, tumor extracellular matrix which have a huge role in the immunomodulation of nanomedicine and also strategies to enhance cancer theranostics applications. According to recent studies, cancer therapy can be potentially improved through nanoparticle based immunotherapy.
