Abstract

![CDATA[Introduction: The targeting of tumor cells often relies on the availability of cancer-associated biomarkers at the tumor site. In general, however, expression levels of such biomarkers are unknown at initial diagnosis. To enable accumulation of theranostic agents independent of biomarker availability, star nanoparticles were developed, consisting of center-crosslinked arms functionalized with imaging components (Gd for MRI) and therapeutic components ( Lu for endoradiotherapy), that may utilize the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect for passive tumor targeting.]]
