As nuclear medicine therapies gain stature compared to nuclear medicine in diagnostic imaging, hospital administrators may be eyeing the potential of adding theranostics services. A shortage of nuclear medicine technologists means a theranostics center may need to limit its patient volume.

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. Since 2013 we've had several more radiopharmaceutical therapies get FDA approval.

A decade ago, only a few radiopharmaceutical agents were used to help treat cancer patients. 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.
