Radiopharmaceutical Theranostics in Nuclear Medicine
Theranostics in nuclear medicine gathers researchers’ interest through molecular imaging and personalized medicine. This is achieved through assistance in the management of various diseases, improves patient selection process, predicts drug response and toxicity, determines prognosis, and helps avoid futile and costly/expensive examinations and treatments. The theranostic approach to nuclear medicine involves a combination of diagnostic imaging and therapy based on a radioactive drug; its primary focus is the diagnosis, while the secondary focus is the treatment of a tumor site. Radioiodine was the first theranostic radiopharmaceutical used in treating and imaging thyroid diseases. In radioiodine therapy, the radioisotope iodine-131 is a gamma and beta emitter, and the sodium-iodide symporter can directly mediate the gamma emitter to thyroid cells. Further, gamma and positron emitters (β+) are used in nuclear imaging. Gamma emitters such as technetium-99m or iodine-123 are used in SPECT imaging, whereas the use of gallium-68 and fluorine-18 in PET imaging can provide better resolution. Therefore, theranostics-based nuclear-targeted therapies are emerging as a useful tool for treating patients suffering from advanced neuroendocrine and gastroenteropancreatic tumors such as neuroblastomas.Asia Pacific Radiopharmaceutical Theranostics Market Overview
