Theranostics at a glance
Cancer incidence rates are rising
Cancer incidence rates continue to rise worldwide with an expectation of 28 million new cases by 2040.1 Taking this outlook into consideration, we are reminded of the need to prioritize precision oncology.
Theranostics enables precision oncology
Theranostics (ie, "therapy" + "diagnostics") is an innovative approach to personalized cancer care that involves the use of molecular imaging (eg, PET/CT and SPECT/CT) and radiopharmaceuticals to tailor treatments to an individual patient. It involves the combination of one diagnostic radioactive drug to "see" the disease and a second therapeutic radioactive drug to deliver therapy to "treat" the disease.
The future of theranostics
From new radiopharmaceutical therapy development to expanding clinical indications, the adoption of theranostics into clinical practice continues to grow. This growth is triggering the up-scaling of existing and new theranostics centers to meet the demand for this type of personalized, predictive, and precise cancer treatment.
Types of cancer treated with theranostics
The current impact of theranostics is greatest in oncology, where it already plays a key role in the management of prostate cancer, neuroendocrine tumors, thyroid cancer, and liver cancer.
