Biography
Knowledge of the molecular profile of a tumor not only guides clinical decisions for optimal treatment but can be harnessed also to monitor treatment response objectively. In this respect, theranostic approaches for the diagnosis and treatment of a variety of tumor types are rapidly gaining momentum. By combining diagnostic imaging modalities with therapeutic interventions directed against the same molecular target, theranostics enables selection of patients more likely to respond to a specific therapy and consequently improves the therapeutic/toxicity ratio while avoiding unnecessary treatment
