Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) approvals of radiopharmaceuticals for neuroendocrine tumors and then for prostate cancer, theranostics has picked up momentum in clinical practice, propelled by encouraging research. After binding to the receptor, the drug works by entering the cell allowing radiation to cause damage to the tumor cells.

Even if some private urology, radiation oncology practices, or radiologist groups are building the ability to perform theranostics, experts are cautious about patient management, radiation safety, and the risk of unnecessary imaging. They're also mindful of the multiple dedicated teams required to build a theranostics clinic properly.

Specifically, the purpose of dosimetry in radiotherapy is to estimate the amount of dose that will be absorbed by normal tissues and tumors to anticipate the biologic effects of radiation. Traditionally, the Monte Carlo technique has been considered too slow for clinical use, taking up to several hours or more to complete calculations.
