Source abstract
Worldwide, Nuclear Medicine is seeing a phenomenal growth in terms of an increasing number of PET-CT scanners being installed, incorporation of routine nuclear medicine procedures in more internationally accepted guidelines as well as advances in the development of more specific radiopharmaceuticals to enable precision guided individualised therapies. In this review, we focus on the increasing role for Nuclear Medicine in the management of paediatric cancers. Since traditional nuclear medicine specialists may have limited awareness and knowledge of paediatric cancers, we have covered this complex topic in the order of frequency of incidence and have provided brief salient points about each cancer and existing management pathways before focusing on the role of Nuclear Medicine. In the final section, we briefly cover some Theranostics related developments on the horizon.
