Background: Cholecystokinin (CCK) is secreted from the intestines in response to food intake. We previously reported that the CCK gene is also expressed in the mammalian heart, and it has been hypothesized that proCCK could be a novel cardiac biomarker. However, it is not known whether cardiac gene expression leads to secretion in humans.

Theranostics has its roots with the first radioiodine therapy for thyroid diseases in about 80 years ago. More recently the field has experienced a remarkable renascence with the regulatory approval of paired imaging and radiopharmaceutical therapy agents in gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors and metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer that are now employed in routine clinical practice. The momentum is strong for identification and testing of new theranostic agents for use in various cancers and finding new clinical incications of the available agents.
