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.
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
Frequently Asked Questions
Can theranostics be used for every cancer type?
No. Theranostics is currently established for selected cancers and continues to be investigated in many others. Suitability depends on the presence of specific biological targets and available evidence.
Is theranostics only used in cancer?
No. While cancer is currently the most widely recognised area, theranostic approaches are also being investigated in other diseases.
How do I know if my cancer may be suitable for theranostics?
Your healthcare team can advise whether theranostic imaging or treatment approaches may be appropriate based on your individual diagnosis and circumstances.
