A powerful new tool in the fight against one of the deadliest cancers

ScienceDaily

A research team has developed a theranostics approach to both diagnose and treat certain pancreatic cancer cases. They radioactively labeled a monoclonal antibody targeting glypican-1, which is highly expressed in pancreatic cancer, then administered it to disease model mice. One label, 89Zr, showed high uptake in tumors, which would allow early detection of pancreatic cancer with PET scans.

Radio-theranostics strategy offers a powerful new tool in the fight against pancreatic cancer

Medical Xpress: Radiology

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the deadliest cancers worldwide, with a 5-year survival rate of less than 10%. Many PDAC tumors in early stage go undetected because they are not found using conventional imaging methods, including fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (PET) scans. To more efficiently combat this cancer, a team led by researchers at Osaka University is combining diagnostic and therapeutic procedures into a single integrated process: theranostics.
