Theranostics pairs diagnostic biomarkers that can be visualized on nuclear medicine imaging with therapeutic agents that share a specific target in diseased cells or tissues. 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. However, few freestanding theranostics centers exist today. Hope added.

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. 2022 Oct;63(10):1467-1474.
