What is theranostics?
Theranostics (from the words "therapy" and "diagnosis")This is an innovative approach in oncology that combines the two most important stages of fighting cancer in one method.
The method is based on the use of special drugs that can simultaneously find and destroy cancer cells, acting as a high-precision weapon against the tumor.Diagnostics
(Theranostics FIND)-
Precise determination of tumor localization
-
Visualization of even minimal foci
-
Assessment of the prevalence of the process
-
Determination of tumor cell activity
-
Predicting the effectiveness of treatment
-
Treatment
(Theranostics TREAT)-
Targeted drug delivery to cancer cells
-
Targeted effect on the tumor
-
Preservation of healthy tissues
-
Minimizing side effects
-
Monitoring the effectiveness of therapy
-
Theranostics is the key to every cell
The revolutionary nature of the method lies in its ability to find a way to every cancer cell, opening up new horizons in oncology. By combining diagnosis and therapy, we create a personalized approach to the treatment of each patient, taking into account the individual characteristics of the course of the disease.- Precision weapons against cancer
- Navigation system for searching for tumor cells
- A personal courier who delivers the medicine to the exact address
- A shield protecting healthy tissues
Who is the method suitable for?
- Patients with neuroendocrine tumors
- For prostate cancer
Theranostics in the EMC
Today we are opening a new theranostics department, an important step towards excellence in cancer treatment.
Theranostics is a highly accurate method that combines diagnosis and therapy, acting on the principle of complementarity, or, more simply, as the key to the lock.
This is next-generation radiation therapy, where a biologically directed beam affects the tumor at the molecular level, destroying it without damaging healthy tissues .
Theranostics takes us to a new level in the treatment of oncological diseases, providing a precise selection of therapy for each individual patient and an accurate effect on pathological cells.
We are confident that this approach represents a significant breakthrough in oncology and opens up new opportunities in the fight against cancer. The opening of this department is an important step in the implementation of a promising technology that will change approaches to cancer treatment.Treatment
Stages of treatment
Diagnostic stage:
-
Introduction of a special radiopharmaceutical
-
Accurate mapping of the tumor location
-
PET/CT imaging
-
Evaluation of drug delivery efficiency
Therapeutic stage:
-
Targeted effects on tumor cells
-
Preservation of healthy tissues
-
Continuous monitoring of treatment
-
Assessment of therapy results
EMC – the future of oncology is already here
