The possible range of molecules which could be used for increased tumor specificity are in the categories of (i) structural, (ii) metabolic, (iii) immunologic, or (iv) genetic features of the tissue. Generally the most potential for high specificity is to the right in this illustration, but the concentrations available for sensing also decrease dramatically in these categories, and so the availability of the signal decreases.
