TL;DR: The early genesis of the concept of nanomedicine sprang from the visionary idea that tiny nanorobots and related machines could be designed, manufactured, and introduced into the human body to perform cellular repairs at the molecular level.
Abstract: The early genesis of the concept of nanomedicine sprang from the visionary idea that tiny nanorobots and related machines could be designed, manufactured, and introduced into the human body to perform cellular repairs at the molecular level. Nanomedicine today has branched out in hundreds of different directions, each of them embodying the key insight that the ability to structure materials and devices at the molecular scale can bring enormous immediate benefits in the research and practice of medicine.

TL;DR: This review addresses some of the major milestones in the integration of nanotechnology and cancer biology, and the future of nanoscale approaches for cancer management.
Abstract: Nanotechnology is increasingly finding use in the management of cancer. Nanoscale devices have impacted cancer biology at three levels: early detection using, for example, nanocantilevers or nanoparticles; tumour imaging using radiocontrast nanoparticles or quantum dots; and drug delivery using nanovectors and hybrid nanoparticles. This review addresses some of the major milestones in the integration of nanotechnology and cancer biology, and the future of nanoscale approaches for cancer management.

TL;DR: The termtheranostic nanomedicine has been defined as an integratednanotherapeutic system, which can diagnose, provide targeted therapy and monitor the response to therapy.
Abstract: The scientific communityis seeking to exploit the intrinsic properties of magneticnanoparticles (MNPs) to obtain medical breakthroughs indiagnosisandtherapy.OneofthemainadvantagesofmagneticNPs is that they can be visualized acting as magnetic contrastagents(CA)formagneticresonanceimaging(MRI).Heatedina high-frequency magnetic field they trigger drug release orproducehyperthermia/ablationoftissues,currentlyreportedasmagnetic fluid hyperthermia (MFH). Accordingly, the termtheranostic nanomedicine has been defined as an integratednanotherapeutic system, which can diagnose, provide targetedtherapy and monitor the response to therapy.
