1. A method for diagnosis of a condition, disease, or disorder, comprising:
- (a) administering to a patient a composition comprising at least one nanoparticle-based assembly, wherein the nanoparticle-based assembly comprises a nanoparticle;
a surrogate marker, and a means for detecting a specific chemical entity (SCE);
(b) obtaining a sample of bodily fluid from the patient;
(c) applying sensor technology to the sample of bodily fluid to detect the presence of the surrogate marker.

Abstract
Systems and methods for diagnosing and/or treating conditions, diseases, or disorders. The present invention uses nanoparticle-based assemblies, which comprise a nanoparticle; a surrogate marker; and a means for detecting a specific chemical entity. Such nanoparticle-based assemblies combine nanotechnology and sensor technology to provide an efficient and accurate means for diagnosing a condition, disease, or disorder as well as for focused treatment regimens.
