What Is Theranostics?

Theranostics combines diagnostics and radiotherapy to help personalise cancer care. By using advanced imaging to identify specific biological targets and then delivering targeted treatment to those same targets, theranostics represents one of the most significant developments in precision oncology.

While the field continues to evolve, theranostics is already helping improve treatment pathways for some patients with prostate cancer, neuroendocrine tumours and other cancers.

Whether you are new to theranostics or looking to deepen your understanding, our Theranostics Hub provides clear, evidence-based information designed for patients, healthcare professionals and the broader community.

Discover How Theranostics Works

A More Personalised Approach to Cancer Care

Cancer is not one disease, and every patient's journey is different. Advances in precision medicine are creating opportunities to better understand individual cancers and tailor treatment approaches accordingly.

Theranostics supports this shift by helping clinicians visualise disease, assess suitability for targeted therapies and monitor treatment response. As research progresses, theranostics has the potential to play an increasingly important role in improving patient outcomes and expanding treatment options.

WHY THERANOSTICS MATTERS

Discover the Future of Theranostics

Healthcare is moving towards a future where treatment is increasingly tailored to the individual. Theranostics is helping drive this transformation by combining advanced diagnostic imaging with targeted therapies to support more personalised approaches to care.

 

Already benefiting selected patients across several cancer types, theranostics is enabling clinicians to better understand disease, guide treatment decisions and monitor response over time. As innovation continues, theranostics is expected to play an increasingly important role in precision medicine, helping improve outcomes and expand treatment possibilities for future generations.
​​

The Patient Journey

Every patient's experience is unique, but theranostics can play an important role at several stages of the care journey. By combining advanced imaging and targeted therapy, theranostics helps clinicians better understand disease, guide treatment decisions and monitor response over time.

  1. Diagnosis
    The journey often begins with a diagnosis and an assessment of the type, stage and characteristics of a patient's disease.
     

  2. ​Imaging & Assessment
    Advanced molecular imaging may be used to identify specific biological targets and determine whether a patient may be suitable for a theranostic approach.
     

  3. Treatment Planning
    Healthcare teams use diagnostic information, clinical evidence and individual patient factors to develop a personalised treatment strategy.
     

  4. ​Targeted Therapy
    For selected patients, targeted radiotherapy can be used to deliver treatment directly to cancer cells while helping to minimise impact on surrounding healthy tissue.
     

  5. ​Monitoring & Follow-Up
    Ongoing imaging and clinical assessments help clinicians evaluate treatment response, monitor disease progression and support future care decisions.

Theranostics is helping create a more personalised approach to healthcare, providing patients and clinicians with valuable information that can support informed decision-making throughout the treatment journey.

PARTNERSHIPS & COLLABORATION

Collaboration Drives Progress

​Theranostics sits at the intersection of medicine, research, technology, advocacy and patient care. Advancing the field requires collaboration between clinicians, researchers, healthcare organisations, industry, policymakers and patients.

Oncothera Advocacy works to bring these stakeholders together through education, dialogue and shared initiatives that support the continued growth of theranostics.

By pooling expertise and resources, these collaborations aim to accelerate the development of innovative theranostic technologies, enhance patient care, and ultimately improve outcomes for individuals with various diseases.

We are committed to making a meaningful impact in the healthcare landscape.​​
