- Abstract
The author reflects on the basics of the theranostic concept established by nuclear medicine in the U.S. The author describes the use of F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET/CT in oncology as form of theranostics. The author states the use of tracers such as FDG on external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) is a clear diagnostic test linked to a specific therapy. The author mentions the connection between diagnostic tests in nuclear medicine and clear prognostic stratification.
