Resumen:

In the last decade, numerous efforts have been made to obtain systems that combine diagnosis and therapy for the treatment of a disease using a single entity (theranostic). In the same way, the advances in the development of imaging agents, nanoparticles, polymeric materials and particularly the advance in nanomedicine have favored the generation of innovative strategies that allow the integration of diagnosis and treatment for more efficient purposes. Theranostic nanomedicine (TN) is a multidisciplinary field where nanotechnology and materials science converge. New nanotheranostic proposals offer the loading and delivery of multiple drugs, with the use of targeting ligands and biomarkers to simultaneously perform diagnosis and specific targeting. Diverse types of nanotheranostic carriers have been developed so far, therefore, in this chapter, we present an overview of different platform designs focusing on TN as promising highly suitable systems for personalized therapy. © 2025 Elsevier Inc.
