Nuclear medicine integrates diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities in oncology, using radiopharmaceuticals for precise cancer detection and treatment. It offers early diagnosis, targeted radiation, and personalized care, revolutionizing cancer diagnostics and treatment. Recent innovations, including AI and theranostics, enhance outcomes, though challenges like accessibility persist.

Peptide-based cancer therapies show promise with multifunctional peptides for diagnosis, targeting, and treatment (theranostics). AI and machine learning aid in peptide sequence design, and integration with other therapies enhances treatment. Clinical trials highlight peptide-drug conjugates and imaging agents. Peptides offer high specificity, reduced toxicity, and adaptable characteristics. Over 30 peptide drugs approved globally. Peptide attributes include compact structure and strong selectivity. Examples: goserelin for breast and prostate cancer, octreotide for neuroendocrine tumors. Market report highlights include a $18 billion opportunity, 30+ approved drugs, and 230+ drugs in clinical trials. Peptides transform diagnostics with radiolabeled peptides for PET imaging. Therapeutic approaches include targeting cancer cells, delivering cytotoxic agents, and peptide vaccines. Innovations in peptide engineering and delivery mechanisms expand their scope. Personalized medicine and ongoing research position peptides as key in future cancer care.

The peptide cancer drug market is projected to exceed $18 billion, with over 30 approved drugs and 230 in clinical trials. Peptides offer high specificity and reduced toxicity, enabling targeted cancer therapies and diagnostics.

Roswell Park’s NET Biobank aims to improve understanding of neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), commonly misdiagnosed cancers. NETs, found mainly in the gastrointestinal tract and lungs, often lack early symptoms, leading to frequent misdiagnosis. Roswell Park’s multidisciplinary approach, advanced diagnostic technology, and NET Biobank, which collects tumor specimens and patient data, are crucial for research and treatment advancements.
