Abstract:
The complete removal of brain tumours is impossible to be achieved by surgery alone due to the complex finger-like tentacles structure of the tumour cells and their migration away from the bulk of the tumour at the time of surgery. The prognosis for Glioblastoma is 15 months after diagnosis. Carnosine, (β-alanyl-L-histidine), a naturally occurring dipeptide has been shown effectiveness against in vitro cultured mitotic cells A comprehensive theragnostic approaches are urgently required Recently, iron oxide nanoparticles have been used as biocompatible vehicles in preclinical and clinical trials. Multimodal approach of cancer therapy and imaging enlarged the traditional therapeutic window via using advanced designed iron oxide as a drug carrier and monitor by means of coating strategies.
