Theranostics
Theranostics, a portmanteau of "therapy" and "diagnostics," represents a groundbreaking approach in healthcare that aims to revolutionize precision medicine. By integrating diagnostic and therapeutic modalities, theranostics offers a synergistic approach that enhances patient outcomes while minimizing adverse effects. Researchers have been working on developing targeted drug delivery systems, such as liposomes, nanoparticles, and antibodies, to improve precision and efficiency. This session focuses on how theranostics contributes to personalized medicine, where treatment decisions are tailored to individual patients based on their unique diagnostic profiles.
