%X Today nanoparticles based drug delivery or imaging agents are extremely being investigated as a very powerful tool in early diagnostics or treatment of different kinds of cancers including prostate malignancies. Among the diverse developing nanomaterials, biocompatible biodegradable dendrimers and chitosan or PLGA (Poly Lactic-co-Glycolic Acid) derivatives are more considered due to their safer profiles. As a result, finding novel prostate imaging agents based on nano sized structures would be of high global interest which will be further discussed in this review.
