Cancer nanotheranostics seeks to improve cancer treatment by combining therapy with imaging through nanotechnology. On page H217 , Forrest M. Kievit and Miqin Zhang review strategies used to engineer nanotheranostic particles and their use for targeted cancer therapy. Various drug‐delivery vehicles such as nanoparticles, adult stem cells, and immune cells can be used to target a cancer cell.
