Cancer, an enduring adversary impacting millions globally, necessitates constant innovation in diagnostics and theranostics. This chapter explores the dynamic landscape of cancer research, emphasizing the shift from one-size-fits-all approaches to personalized medicine. Genomic sequencing illuminates unique tumor fingerprints, enabling tailored therapeutic options. Biomarkers extend beyond genomics, encompassing metabolic pathways and the tumor microenvironment. Early detection, crucial in effective cancer management, evolves with liquid biopsies offering minimally invasive insights. The future lies in theranostics, which seamlessly integrates diagnosis and targeted therapy, particularly through nanomedicine. Nanoparticles, with imaging and therapeutic capabilities, hold promise in precise drug delivery, minimizing collateral damage. The quest for precise cancer diagnostics involves identifying novel biomarkers like circulating tumor DNA, exosomes, and metabolic alterations. As we navigate uncharted territories, embracing innovative technologies and personalized medicine, cancer research promises groundbreaking discoveries, revolutionizing diagnosis, treatment, and patient outcomes.
