Discover Where Theranostics Is Making a Difference
While its role varies depending on the cancer type, theranostics combines advanced diagnostic imaging with targeted radionuclide therapies to support more personalised approaches to patient care.
This page provides an overview of where theranostics is currently being used, where research is ongoing and where you can find trusted information about specific cancers.
If you have questions about your individual circumstances, treatment options or eligibility for theranostic approaches, please speak with your healthcare team.
Theranostic and targeted radionuclide approaches are established or available across several cancers, including prostate cancer, neuroendocrine tumours, thyroid cancer and selected non-melanoma skin cancers, with the nature and maturity of these approaches varying by cancer type.
Prostate Cancer
Neuroendocrine Tumours
Theranostics has become an important treatment pathway for selected patients with neuroendocrine tumours.
Thyroid Cancer
Theranostic principles have been used in thyroid cancer management for many years through radioactive iodine imaging and treatment approaches.
Skin Cancer
Theranostic approaches are increasingly being explored and utilised in the management of selected non-melanoma skin cancers.
Emerging Areas of Research
While some approaches remain investigational, ongoing clinical studies continue to expand understanding of where theranostics may contribute to future patient care.
Researchers are currently investigating the potential role of theranostics across a growing range of cancers, including:
-
Breast cancer
-
Lung cancer
-
Brain cancer
-
Ovarian cancer
-
Pancreatic cancer
-
Colorectal cancer
-
Melanoma
-
Multiple myeloma
