The European Journal of Nuclear Medicine & Molecular Imaging has published a position paper on the use of theranostics in brain tumors. Theranostics, which involves using diagnostic imaging to identify specific molecular targets and then delivering targeted therapy, has shown promise in thyroid diseases, neuroendocrine tumors, and prostate cancer. The paper discusses the potential of theranostics in treating brain tumors, including meningiomas, gliomas, brain metastases, and pediatric brain tumors. It highlights the challenges in delivering therapeutics to the brain due to the blood-brain barrier and calls for further research and clinical trials to evaluate the efficacy of theranostic approaches in neuro-oncology.
