Keynote II: Radiopharmaceutical Impact Review: Patients, Performance, Potential and People

This session offers a comprehensive and candid review of the evolution, current impact, and future direction of radiotheranostics, with a particular focus on PSMA targeted imaging and therapy in prostate cancer. Tracing the field from its roots in basic and translational science to contemporary phase III trials and real world adoption, the presentation examines diagnostic and therapeutic successes alongside persistent challenges, including variable response rates, resistance mechanisms, toxicity, and uncertain survival benefits in earlier disease settings. Beyond clinical outcomes, the session explores the expanding role of industry, regulatory milestones, workforce and infrastructure constraints, and the “turf” issues that accompany rapid growth. Participants will gain insight into emerging targets, rational combination strategies, patient selection, and the critical need for multidisciplinary collaboration to ensure that radiotheranostics remains patient centered, scientifically rigorous, and sustainable as the field continues to scale.

Target Audience

This meeting was designed to meet the interests of medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, physicists, nurses, diagnostic radiologists,  radiation therapists, radiation dosimetrists, specialists, nuclear physicians and practice administrators. 

 

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:

  • Describe the current clinical benefits and limitations of PSMA targeted imaging and radioligand therapy in prostate cancer. 
  • Evaluate how translational science, pivotal trials, and regulatory milestones have shaped the adoption of radiotheranostics. 
  • Identify key challenges and future opportunities, including resistance, toxicity, patient selection, and workforce needs in delivering patient centered theranostic care.
