Abstract
There is a growing worldwide interest in the detection and targeted treatment of cancer with radiotheranostics as part of precision medicine. This article reviews some of the developments in theranostics, namely, approved radiopharmaceuticals, agents in late-stage clinical trials, emerging radionuclides and targets, as well as operational and regulatory challenges. Other areas of development include use of novel ligands, new indications, and combinations with other systemic therapies. We aim to provide an overview of radiopharmaceutical therapies in use and in clinical development and consider some of the challenges in East and Southeast Asia, including an innovative yet highly regulated environment in Singapore.
期刊介绍:
Asia–Pacific Journal of Clinical Oncology is a multidisciplinary journal of oncology that aims to be a forum for facilitating collaboration and exchanging information on what is happening in different countries of the Asia–Pacific region in relation to cancer treatment and care. The Journal is ideally positioned to receive publications that deal with diversity in cancer behavior, management and outcome related to ethnic, cultural, economic and other differences between populations. In addition to original articles, the Journal publishes reviews, editorials, letters to the Editor and short communications. Case reports are generally not considered for publication, only exceptional papers in which Editors find extraordinary oncological value may be considered for review. The Journal encourages clinical studies, particularly prospectively designed clinical trials.
