Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Review Description
Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Although standard strategies such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy have shown to be successful for cancer treatment, their effectiveness can be limited. Due to their physicochemical properties, nanoparticles can be used to overcome the drawbacks apparent from conventional cancer treatments, with a wide variety of specialized treatment options and active targeting strategies available for treating tumors. This review focuses on iron nanoparticles as promising cancer therapy and imaging nano-agents and on the main synthesis and modification techniques available for constructing these nanoparticles for cancer. A discussion on different types of iron nanoparticles for cancer theranostics is provided to demonstrate the variety of imaging modalities and therapies available.
