Abstract:
In this narrative review, we aim to summarize recent advancements in nuclear molecular imaging techniques and their applications in BCa management. The main focus of this review is on the most relevant clinical investigations from the past 2-3 years that highlight the enhanced diagnostic and therapeutic value of these imaging modalities. A variety of radiolabeled probes introduced in molecular imaging is explored, detailing their roles in the accurate diagnosis and characterization of BCa, as well as their integration into radioligand therapy and theragnostic strategies.
