Prostate Cancer
Theranostics Transforming Prostate Cancer Care
Prostate cancer is currently one of the most established areas for theranostics.
Advances in Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen (PSMA) imaging and radioligand therapy have helped improve the identification and management of prostate cancer for selected patients.
Treatments
Theranostic approaches may involve:
-
PSMA PET imaging
-
PSMA-targeted radioligand therapies
-
Monitoring of treatment response through molecular imaging
Treatment suitability depends on individual patient circumstances and specialist assessment.
Research
Research continues to investigate:
-
Earlier use of PSMA-targeted therapies
-
Combination treatment approaches
-
New imaging and therapeutic targets
Patient Guide
Patients with prostate cancer who are interested in theranostics should discuss available imaging and treatment options with their healthcare team.
