AI Article Synopsis

  • Radiopharmaceutical theranostic treatments are becoming increasingly popular for cancer therapy, especially for CNS tumors, and rely on the internal release of radiation to achieve clinical effects.
  • Accurate absorbed dose calculations are crucial for understanding how the treatment works and customizing it for individual patients.
  • The article emphasizes the advancements in internal dosimetry techniques, the importance of consistent data collection for treatment planning, and the challenges faced in applying these methods effectively.

Article Abstract

Radiopharmaceutical theranostic treatments have grown exponentially worldwide, and internal dosimetry has attracted attention and resources. Despite some similarities with chemotherapy, radiopharmaceutical treatments are essentially radiotherapy treatments, as the release of radiation into tissues is the determinant of the observed clinical effects. Therefore, absorbed dose calculations are key to explaining dose-effect correlations and individualizing radiopharmaceutical treatments. The present article introduces the basic principles of internal dosimetry and provides an overview of available loco-regional and systemic radiopharmaceutical treatments for central nervous system (CNS) tumors. The specific characteristics of dosimetry as applied to these treatments are highlighted, along with their limitations and most relevant results. Dosimetry is performed with higher precision and better reproducibility than in the past, and dosimetric data should be systematically collected, as treatment planning and verification may help exploit the full potential of theranostic of CNS tumors.
