Theranostics in the Indian Subcontinent: Opportunities, Challenges, and the Path Forward.
Theranostics, a combination of therapeutic and diagnostic approaches using molecular imaging and targeted radionuclide therapy, represents a significant advancement in personalized medicine. The Indian subcontinent, with its vast and diverse population, presents a unique landscape for the development and implementation of theranostics. This review critically examines the opportunities, challenges, and future directions of theranostics in the region. The large patient burden provides a fertile ground for research and clinical applications. Additionally, the presence of skilled manpower and established infrastructure offers a solid foundation for its advancement. However, financial constraints, uneven geographical distribution of expertise, and manpower shortages pose significant hurdles. This paper discusses strategies to address these challenges, emphasizing policy interventions, capacity building, and research initiatives to ensure equitable and sustainable growth of theranostics in the Indian subcontinent.
期刊介绍:
Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (Nucl Med Mol Imaging) is an official journal of the Korean Society of Nuclear Medicine, which bimonthly publishes papers on February, April, June, August, October, and December about nuclear medicine and related sciences such as radiochemistry, radiopharmacy, dosimetry and pharmacokinetics / pharmacodynamics of radiopharmaceuticals, nuclear and molecular imaging analysis, nuclear and molecular imaging instrumentation, radiation biology and radionuclide therapy. The journal specially welcomes works of artificial intelligence applied to nuclear medicine. The journal will also welcome original works relating to molecular imaging research such as the development of molecular imaging probes, reporter imaging assays, imaging cell trafficking, imaging endo(exo)genous gene expression, and imaging signal transduction. Nucl Med Mol Imaging publishes the following types of papers: original articles, reviews, case reports, editorials, interesting images, and letters to the editor.
The Korean Society of Nuclear Medicine (KSNM)
KSNM is a scientific and professional organization founded in 1961 and a member of the Korean Academy of Medical Sciences of the Korean Medical Association which was established by The Medical Services Law. The aims of KSNM are the promotion of nuclear medicine and cooperation of each member. The business of KSNM includes holding academic meetings and symposia, the publication of journals and books, planning and research of promoting science and health, and training and qualification of nuclear medicine specialists.
