From the reviews: "This well-illustrated book provides authoritative and cutting-edge reviews on topics such as multifunctional and multimodal nanoparticles, nanoparticle-mediated cancer theranostics, molecular targets for cancer nanotechnology, nanoparticles for noninvasive image-guided cancer therapy, and targeted and localized delivery of the drugs. ... It is intended for both established researchers and those embarking on their maiden research voyage in the field. It will be extremely useful for established investigators, students, clinical oncologists, and others interested in the field of cancer nanotechnology."
