“…Bioconjugated QD fluorescent probes offer a promising and powerful imaging tool for cancer detection, diagnosis and treatment. Following the two seminal papers published on Science in 1998 demonstrating the feasibility of using QDs in biological environments [ 5 , 6 ], many new techniques have been developed during the last decade, utilizing the unique photophysical properties of QDs, for in vitro biomolecular profiling of cancer biomarkers, in vivo tumor imaging, and dual-functionality tumor-targeted imaging and drug delivery [ 7 ].…”
