In medicine, endocrinology is perhaps the domain that encompasses the most molecular imaging using radioactive agents, also called radiopharmaceuticals. This is due to the diversity of molecular targets, including hormone synthesis pathways expressed uniquely by endocrine tumors and the growing knowledge in their pathophysiology and genetics. Those radiopharmaceuticals not only serve as diagnostic agents, but can also serve as a platform for characterizing endocrine disorders and treat patients and be used to monitor intracellular events that are induced by various therapies. Finally, they may be able to predict the aggressiveness…
Radiopharmaceuticals can diagnose, treat, and predict the aggressiveness of endocrine tumors. This book provides up-to-date insights into the diagnostic, therapeutic, and future approaches of nuclear medicine in the spirit of precision medicine for physicians and specialists.
