Abstract

Radiotheranostics, a combination of diagnostic and therapeutic approaches, was first utilized in cancer management using radiopharmaceuticals to both image and selectively treat specific cancer subtypes nearly a century ago. Radiotheranostic strategies rooted in nuclear medicine have revolutionized the treatment landscape for individuals diagnosed with prostate cancer and neuroendocrine tumors in the past 10 years. In specific contexts, these approaches have emerged as the prevailing standard, yielding numerous positive results. The field of radiotheranostics shows great potential for future clinical applications. This article aims to examine the key factors that will contribute to the success of radiotheranostics in the future, as well as the current challenges and potential strategies to overcome them, with insight into the global radiotheranostic market.
