Theranostics for personalized
cancer care
Watch how Dr. Osborne provides personalized cancer care for his patient John along the theranostics care pathway.
Personalizing cancer care demands the right tools in order to get patients the right treatment at the right time. Our integrated value chain of precision oncology tools equips theranostics programs with state-of-the-art solutions at every step of the theranostics care pathway.
Watch for a brief explanation of theranostics.
Theranostics is an innovative concept of personalized therapy that focuses on both the accurate selection of patients and providing them with targeted radioligand therapy to improve their prognosis.3 It refers to structurally similar diagnostic and therapeutic agents that share a molecular-specific target that involves the use of molecular imaging techniques to identify, personalize, and monitor therapy response. It makes use of pharmaceuticals, such as radioligands, to target and treat specific areas.
By imaging with targeted radioligands (eg, 68Ga-PSMA PET), you can plan radionuclide therapies using a similarly targeted ligand labeled with a therapeutic tracer (eg, 177Lu-PSMA).4
Theranostics care pathway
Theranostics in comprehensive cancer care demands precision at every step of the patient care pathway.
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to theranostics, so no matter where your institution is on its theranostics journey, we want to empower you with the tools you need to plan, implement, and expand your program to meet the demands of tomorrow.

Molecular imaging plays a role in personalizing treatment for prostate cancer, liver cancer, neuroendocrine tumors, and thyroid cancer.
The outcomes achieved by the Siemens Healthineers customers described herein were achieved in the customer’s unique setting. Since there is no “typical” hospital and many variables exist (eg, hospital size, case mix, level of IT adoption) there can be no guarantee that others will achieve the same results.
What the experts are saying
"We're able to identify disease that we could never see before and now we know where the disease is—the entire burden of disease. Molecular imaging is an in-vivo map that allows us to tailor our detection and disease stratification as well as therapy."

The amount of metal artifact reduction and corresponding improvement in image quality depends on a number of factors including: composition and size of the metal object, patient size, anatomical location and clinical practice. It is recommended to perform reconstruction with iMAR enabled in addition to conventional reconstruction without iMAR.
