Nanotechnology will have great impact on how cancer is diagnosed and treated in the future. New technologies to detect and image cancerous changes and materials that enable new methods of cancer treatment will radically alter patient outcomes. The National Cancer Institute (NCI) Alliance for Nanotechnology in Cancer sponsors research in cancer prevention, diagnosis, and therapy and promotes translation of basic science discoveries into clinical practice. The Fourth Annual NCI Alliance Principal Investigator Meeting was held in Manhattan Beach, California October 20-22, 2009. Presented here are highlights from the research presentations at the meeting, in the areas of in vitro diagnostics, targeted delivery of anticancer and contrast enhancement agents, and nanotherapeutics and therapeutic monitoring.
纳米技术将对未来癌症的诊断和治疗产生重大影响。用于检测和成像癌变以及实现新的癌症治疗方法的新技术将从根本上改变患者的预后。美国国家癌症研究所（NCI）癌症纳米技术联盟赞助癌症预防、诊断和治疗方面的研究，并促进将基础科学发现转化为临床实践。第四次年度 NCI 联盟首席研究员会议于 2009 年 10 月 20 日至 22 日在加利福尼亚州曼哈顿海滩举行。这里呈现的是会议上研究报告的要点，涉及体外诊断、抗癌和对比增强剂的靶向传递以及纳米治疗学和治疗监测领域。
