Theranostics, a strategy that combines diagnostic imaging and targeted radionuclide therapy using the same molecular target, has revolutionized care in cancers, including prostate and neuroendocrine tumors. This review evaluates the current evidence and future potential of theranostic applications in sarcoma. A comprehensive literature search was conducted across PubMed, Google Scholar, and clinicaltrials.gov for studies published between January 2010 and August 2025. Search terms included “theranostics,” “radionuclide,” “molecular imaging,” “sarcoma,” and molecular targets such as PSMA, FAPI, SSTR, PDGFR, and TEM-1. Eligible articles included clinical trials, cohort studies, and systematic reviews. Case reports were included only when higher-level evidence was lacking. Key theranostic targets in sarcoma include FAP, PSMA, SSTR, and PDGFR. Among these, FAP-directed agents demonstrate the most clinical maturity, with improved diagnostic performance compared to 18F-FDG and early evidence of disease control with 90Y/177Lu-labeled therapies. PSMA and SSTR expression in sarcomas is more variable and localized to tumor vasculature, with case-level therapeutic use and limited efficacy data. PDGFR and emerging targets, such as TEM-1, show biological promise but remain under investigation in early-phase studies. Theranostics represents a promising approach to individualized sarcoma treatment, with FAP-targeted agents showing the most advanced clinical development. FAP-based imaging improves lesion detection compared to standard 18F-FDG PET, and early therapeutic trials suggest disease control in select patients. However, broader validation and regulatory approval are needed before clinical integration. Theranostics represents a promising precision-medicine paradigm for sarcoma, linking diagnostic PET imaging with targeted radioligand therapy targeting a shared molecular target. With more than 100 histologic subtypes and limited effective treatment options in advanced disease, theranostics may provide a future therapeutic avenue for selected patients. Among currently investigated platforms, fibroblast activation protein-directed approaches are the most clinically advanced. 68Ga FAPI PET has demonstrated superior lesion detection compared with 18 F FDG across multiple sarcoma subtypes, and early studies of 90Y- and 177Lu-labeled FAPI agents report disease stabilization in selected patients with advanced disease, supporting biological and technical feasibility. In contemporary practice, FAP-directed imaging is best integrated within investigational frameworks to identify candidates for radioligand therapy, refine trial selection, and enable response monitoring in FAP-avid sarcomas. Other targets, including PSMA, SSTR, and PDGFR, remain exploratory and require prospective validation before clinical translation.

However, a growing body of evidence suggests that the occurrence of HFSR may be associated with improved clinical efficacy, prompting a reevaluation of its clinical significance. This review aims to systematically synthesize the literature on the pathogenesis of HFSR, clinical efficacy data from randomized controlled trials (RCTs), and emerging therapeutic concepts in the evolution of management strategies. We found that the occurrence of HFSR exhibits a clear dose-dependent pattern, and the development of high-grade HFSR may be closely associated with favorable clinical efficacy. Therefore, we propose that HFSR could serve as a predictive biomarker for the efficacy of mTKIs-based cancer targeted therapy. HFSR is undergoing a fundamental paradigm shift from a “roadblock to dose adjustment” to a “roadmap for efficacy guidance”, which may intend to provide a comprehensive reference for clinical practice and future research, and facilitate the innovative development of HFSR management strategies in cancer therapy.</p>","PeriodicalId":50600,"journal":{"name":"Current Treatment Options in Oncology","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2026-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147475892","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Revumenib was subsequently FDA-approved in October 2025 for R/R NPM1m AML, followed by approval of another oral menin inhibitor, ziftomenib, for R/R NPM1m AML in November 2025. These agents, along with other investigational menin inhibitors including bleximenib and enzomenib are being investigated in ongoing clinical trials as both single-agents and in combination with other chemotherapy agents in AML. Menin inhibitors have demonstrated clinical activity as single agents in KMT2Ar and NPM1m AML.

For desmoplastic small round cell tumor (DSRCT)—the primary indication for WART—our practice prioritizes integrating WART with complete cytoreductive surgery and alkylator-based chemotherapy, with intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) or helical tomotherapy strongly recommended as preferred techniques due to their significant reduction in hematologic and gastrointestinal toxicity versus conventional 2D radiotherapy while preserving target coverage. For other subtypes (peritoneal rhabdomyosarcoma, Ewing sarcoma, myxoid liposarcoma), WART should be individualized: considered for confirmed peritoneal dissemination, residual disease post-chemotherapy, or incomplete resection, but avoided in extensive distant metastases. Future paradigms must optimize benefit-to-toxicity ratios, including routine proton/carbon ion therapy for pediatric/young adult patients to minimize late effects (e.g., growth abnormalities, infertility), exploration of WART combinations with targeted agents (e.g., IGF-1R inhibitors) or immunotherapies (e.g., PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors) in prospective trials given promising preclinical/early clinical data, and use of molecular profiling and circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) monitoring to guide patient selection and timely treatment adjustments. Long-term follow-up is essential for all patients to monitor late toxicities (e.g., small bowel obstruction, radiation nephritis) and secondary malignancies.

However, patients with high-risk features or relapsed disease continue to have suboptimal outcomes. Conventional chemotherapy agents may increase long term organ toxicities even in more favorable patients. Improved understanding of the molecular characteristics of pediatric ALL has led to the preclinical and clinical development of more targeted and less systemically toxic therapeutic options for patients with ALL. Agents such as blinatumomab, inotuzumab ozogamicin, tisagenlecleucel and several others have revolutionized the treatment of relapsed or refractory ALL by either directing therapies locally to leukemic cells or by targeting specific leukemogenic pathways. Here we present current evidence for efficacy and toxicity profiles for these targeted therapies in pediatric patients with ALL. Many of these strategies have been more comprehensively studied in the adult population and we will highlight ongoing and needed clinical trials in pediatrics. We need to overcome our historically delayed approach to introducing new therapeutic options in pediatrics, as adults often benefit from innovations for years before they are evaluated in children. More proactively incorporating these emerging treatments into frontline therapy for the most vulnerable, high-risk pediatric ALL populations could meaningfully reshape our treatment paradigm. Earlier collaboration for development of clinical trials across pediatric and adult ALL may facilitate more rapid access to promising agents. We anticipate that successful upfront integration of more targeted approaches will improve response rates, reduce reliance on highly toxic chemotherapies and ultimately increase the likelihood of duration of remission. We expect the next generation of clinical trials will credential more targeted therapies for use in frontline therapy with the goal of improved outcomes with minimized toxicity for all patients with pediatric ALL, not just those with more favorable disease characteristics.</p>","PeriodicalId":50600,"journal":{"name":"Current Treatment Options in Oncology","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2026-02-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12929260/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147272652","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Paracetamol (acetaminophen) and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are widely recommended by international guidelines for the management of non-surgical cancer pain, either alone or as adjuvants to opioids. In this paper, the current evidence for their efficacy, tolerability, and safety in this setting is reviewed. Evidence for paracetamol in cancer pain remains limited and of low quality. Small trials and systematic reviews suggest little or no additional analgesic benefit when used alongside strong opioids, and no clear advantage of intravenous over oral paracetamol has been demonstrated. Evidence for NSAIDs is slightly stronger, with studies indicating analgesic benefit both as monotherapy and in combination with opioids, although the quality of evidence is again restricted by small sample sizes, heterogeneity, and outdated trials. Concerns regarding adverse effects, particularly gastrointestinal, renal, and cardiovascular, often limit use, athough short-term use in patients receiving palliative care may be safer than historically perceived. Comparative data between individual NSAIDs, routes of administration, and longer-term use are lacking. Overall, while both paracetamol and NSAIDs are commonly prescribed and theoretically beneficial, high-quality, adequately powered studies in patients with cancer pain are scarce.
