1st Edition
Site-specific Cancer Nanotheranostics A Microenvironment-responsive Approach
This book addresses various aspects of recent progress in the development of all types of tumorresponsive and site-specific delivery platforms together with the range of related chemistries. It is a timely volume as global research in oncology is moving towards more biochemical signal–based and cell environment–inspired therapeutic strategies. Furthermore, the book emphasizes the need to explore various characterization techniques for specific stimuli-responsive nanoplatforms and toxicological and regulatory aspects.
Features:
- Focused, comprehensive volume providing a different angle on theranostics in cancer intervention
- Targets not only the multifunctionality of nanosystems but provides a comprehensive overview of niche technical aspects
- Given the chemistries presented here, it provides both early-career and experienced readers with strategies from leading authorities in the field globally
