This continuing education analyzes recent advances in Nuclear Medicine focused on the development of new radiopharmaceuticals that improve both the diagnosis and treatment of complex diseases. The focus is on teragnosis, which combines diagnosis and treatment by means of pairs of radiopharmaceuticals directed to the same molecular target, which allows the personalization of treatments. This first part specifically reviews the teragnostic pairs copper-64/copper-67, lead-212/lead-203 and scandium-44/scandium-47, highlighting their physical characteristics, methods of production and potential clinical applications.

Pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) is the most accurate procedure for lymph node (LN) staging in prostate cancer (PCa) patients. LN sectioning and hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining of at least one slice remains the gold standard for LN evaluation, potentially leading to misdetection of small metastatic focus. Entire LN analysis is possible with One-Step Nucleic Acid Amplification (OSNA) by detecting cytokeratin 19 (CK19) mRNA as a surrogate for LN invasion.
