Abstract

The current advancement in diagnostic research by implementing nanotechnology encourages researchers worldwide to focus towards new possibilities of utilizing nano formulation for advanced imaging and diagnosis for cancer. This concept initiates the development of multimodal theranostic nanoparticles which has both therapy and diagnosis property in cancer treatment. The potential advantage of these theranostic nanoparticles over other nanoformulations they are highly efficient transporters and cargos both imaging and therapeutic agents as encapsulated and the intrinsic molecular property aiding effective diagnosis. This dual functional capacity of theranostic nano particles accounts their usage as personalized medicine. In this book chapter we tried to included details of various bio inspired theranostic nano particles and their application in cancer therapy. The contents covered are Bio-inspired nanoparticles used in cancer (Liposome, Lipid based theranostic nanoparticles (LNPs), Solid form lipid nanoparticles (SLNs), Lipid based Nano capsules (LNCs), Lipid-nano structure (NLCs), Lipid micelles), Protein based theranostic nanoparticles, Viral nanoparticles (VNPs), Oligonucleotide theranostic nanoparticles, Peptide theranostic nanoparticles. Whereas In-organic theranostic nanoparticles including Gold theranostic nanoparticles (AuNPs), Silver theranostic nanoparticles (AgNPs), Iron oxide nano particles
