The underlying premise is that cancer cells with their supernumerary centrioles have a significantly higher electromagnetic field than that of normal cells. This enhanced field can then serves as a "biomarker" or target for the attraction of nanoparticles -specifically: Super Paramagnetic Nanoparticles (SPIONS) which can provide the desired theranostics.
