Advances in Molecular Imaging and Therapy and Its Impact in Oncologic Imaging

Abstract The theranostic concept to use diagnostic and therapeutic nuclides image treat cancer was established many years ago for thyroid disease. With the success of [ 177 Lu]-labeled agents targeting neuroendocrine tumors or prostate cancer, interest this has been significantly rising. possibility localize quantify a target within patient opens up novel possibilities, but also challenges selection, dosimetry, response assessment. Especially assessment we however, still rely on morphologic changes. increasing immunotherapy other biological approaches, interpretation needs profound understanding mechanism impact imaging parameters accurate tumor guidance appropriate therapy selection.
