ABSTRACT

Hybrid nanoparticles (gold, silica and iron oxide based nanoparticles, quantum dots) with a size inferior to 10 nm for applications in oncology will be described in this article. Hybrid nanoparticles can be used as imaging or therapeutic agent for detection and/or therapy of tumors. They display several advantages in comparison with molecular agents : better signal per object, the possibility to combine many functionalities for imaging and/or therapy and the capacity to target the tumor in combination with an adapted biodistribution and a relatively fast renal elimination.

 INTRODUCTION

Summary:

This article describes the interest of multimodal hybrid nanoparticles (gold, silica, iron oxide and quantum dots nanoparticles) of less than 10 nm for application in oncology. Hybrid nanoparticles can be used as imaging or therapeutic agents for tumor detection and/or treatment. They have the advantage of increasing the signal per object, being able to combine different imaging techniques and being able to target the area of interest, while exhibiting relatively rapid renal elimination.
