The invention provides modified gold nanoparticles that enable a non-invasive, real time, targeted cancer imaging-therapeutic in one step. After reaching the cancer targets, the designed targeted gold nanoparticles significantly enhance conventional treatment modalities at the cellular level. In this aspect the gold nanoparticles of the invention are modified to be bound to a Positron Emission Tomography (PET) tracer.
