About Targeted Molecular Precision Oncology
Targeted Molecular Precision Oncology utilizes molecular and genetic profiling of tumors to identify targetable alterations, which are the used to deliver precise and highly localized diagnostic, imaging and therapeutic agents to the tumor sites. In targeted imaging and therapy radioisotopes are coupled with targeting molecules to either enable high tech imaging of tumors such as PET or SPECT/CT or deliver Beta, Alpha or Auger radiation to tumors on a cellular level. The cancer patient is considered as an individual who should be provided with personalized, targeted therapies, based on their unique biology and targetable structures of the specific tumor. The objective is to determine the most favorable therapy for an individual patient in order to significantly improve treatment results, quality of life and health economics of cancer care.
