Abstract: A method for assessing if an individual or an animal has a selected condition includes: obtaining a biological sample from the individual or animal; detecting in a time-resolved manner the presence of a disease related target through use of a probe (111); calculating a multidimensional fingerprint (141) which represents the recorded binding curves (131); extracting a predefined region (151) or feature of the distribution; and using the region or feature to determine (170) if the individual or animal has the selected condition. The method is particularly advantageous for tissue slices combined with antibody probes, the antibody recognizing receptors known to be over-expressed in cancer. In even more particular, a method for the assessment of HER2 expression level in breast cancer is described.

Abstract: Anthracycline derivatives are suitable for use in cancer therapy and diagnosis. These anthracycline derivatives can be radiolabelled and used as an imaging agent in cancer diagnosis. The radiolabelled anthracycline derivatives can also be used together with a drug delivery system, in particular including a two-step targeting strategy, for treating solid and disseminated tumors. These drug delivery system can advantageously be used for treatment and diagnosis of breast cancer.

Abstract: The present invention relates to new anthracycline derivatives and their use in cancer therapy and diagnosis. These anthracycline derivatives can be radiolabelled and used as an imaging agent in cancer diagnosis. The radiolabelled anthracycline derivatives can also be used together with a drug delivery system, in particular including a two-step targeting strategy, for treating solid and disseminated tumours. These drug delivery system can advantageously be used for treatment and diagnosis of breast cancer.
