PSMA-targeted radiopharmaceuticals have brought theranostics into the clinical spotlight—but what comes next? In this episode, host Dr. Mike Nickels is joined by Dr. Anna Wu (City of Hope) for a wide-ranging discussion on the future of theranostics beyond PSMA. Together, they explore what makes a strong theranostic target, how evolving tumor biology and heterogeneity are shaping next-generation agents, and why pan-cancer and tumor-microenvironment targets are gaining momentum. The conversation also dives into combination strategies, alpha-emitters, clinical translation challenges, and what the next decade may hold for the field. A must-listen for scientists, clinicians, and anyone interested in where theranostics is headed next.

This special episode, produced in collaboration with the Canadian Nuclear Isotope Council (CNIC), features James Scongack - the CNIC’s Chair and COO of Bruce Power - discussing Canada’s global leadership in medical isotope production. From cobalt-60 to lutetium-177, learn how Canada is investing in infrastructure, building cross-border partnerships, and scaling up to meet the growing demand for radiotheranostics.

In this inaugural episode of the WMIS Podcast, Dr. Mike Nickels sits down with Dr. Diane Abou of NorthStar Medical Radioisotopes for a dynamic conversation about the rise of theranostics in nuclear medicine. Tune in as they unpack what theranostics really means, why it’s gaining momentum, and how it's transforming the future of patient care. Learn about clinical applications, key challenges in isotope production, and why this is such an exciting time for the field.
