They're also mindful of the multiple dedicated teams required to build a theranostics clinic properly. Hope, vice chair of clinical operations and strategy in the UCSF department of radiology, established the radioligand therapy group at the university. Theranostics is becoming a treatment option for a larger volume of cancer patients.
