Abstract

The article focuses on radiotheranostics, a medical approach that combines therapy and diagnostics using the same molecular targets, particularly in the context of veterinary and human medicine. It highlights the use of radiopharmaceuticals, such as 123-iodine and 99m-technetium for diagnosing and treating hyperthyroidism in cats, and discusses recent advancements in human medicine, including the approval of Locametz (68-gallium gozetotide) and Pluvicto (177-lutetium vipivotide tetraxetan) for prostate cancer. The article also notes the potential for similar applications in veterinary oncology, particularly targeting prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) and somatostatin receptors in canine and feline cancers. Overall, it emphasizes the evolving role of radiotheranostics in improving cancer diagnosis and treatment outcomes. [Extracted from the article]
