Abstract

Application of nanoparticles have in the core of researchers attention for both imaging and therapy of cancers. This review article aimed to prepare an outline on recent applications of iodine nanoparticles (INPs) as theranostic agents in both diagnosis and therapies. Among various strategies are used in treatment of cancers, radiotherapy with radiopharmaceutical agents especially radioisotope of iodine displays satisfactory results for numerous types of cancers. In recent years, new investigations were done in order to develop the novel structure of INPs. These nanoprobes could act as efficient theranostic purposes. Iodine nanoparticles may be applied in nuclear medicine imaging and may be effective with mega voltage (MV) photons in cancer therapy, but this remains to be tested with different cancer cells. By using INPs, effective steps can be taken in the future in both diagnosis and treatment of cancers. This review emphasized the recent research findings on the application of INPs in medical imaging and therapeutic of cancers. The current challenges and the perspectives for their future applications were also represented and discussed.
