A novel selective decoy oligodeoxynucleotide (dODN)-doxorubicin (DOX) complex is reported for cancer theranostics. It eliminates the use of a ligand or carrier for targeted delivery and disassembles into therapeutic dODN and DOX upon encountering over-activated STAT3 in cancer cells. Hence, in situ STAT3 probing and synergistic anti-cancer effect are attained at the same time.
