Firstly, the Neuroendocrine tumor teaching units allow to delve into the epidemiology and historical evolution of these tumors, explore their classification, and examine their pathological basis. The participant will then understand the clinical presentation and role of molecular imaging techniques such as PET/CT, as well as to learn about treatment response evaluation to peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) using SPECT/CT and the significance of biomarkers. Secondly, in the prostate cancer teaching units, the participants will explore the epidemiology and historical evolution of the disease, examine its tumor classification, and focus on pathology and genomics. This will allow to gain insights into molecular imaging techniques, with a specific focus on PSMA PET/CT, including potential pitfalls, as well as to understand treatment response evaluation to PRRT using SPECT/CT and the significance of PSA as a tumor marker. Systemic therapy guidelines and basic principles of PRRT will be covered for both cancer types above. Finally, radioiodine therapy and its application in thyroid cancer will be introduced.

This pillar explores diverse topics in medical imaging, nuclear medicine and Theranostics targeting an audience of physicists thereby complementing the content of other pillars. Participants may expect to understand SPECT/CT and PET/CT imaging principles, radiobiology and radiotherapy fundamentals, as well as learn about essential topics such as activity measurements, quality control, radiation safety, patient dosimetry and clinical dosimetry and discover strategies to address imaging artifacts and optimize protocols. In summary, participants will appreciate the crucial role of medical physicists in Radiomolecular Precision Oncology.

Addressing chemists and being a great complement to other pillars, this pillar is a strong primer on radiochemistry and nuclear chemistry, exploring the composition of atomic nuclei as a mixture of nucleons, as well as the structure and characteristics of stable and unstable atomic nuclei. Participants will understand the rationale of unstable atom nuclei and the philosophy of nuclear transformation pathways and kinetics. This pillar gives an opportunity to delve into the various emissions specific to individual transformation pathways, in particular relevant to Theranostics. Participants will finally become familiar with radionuclide production processes at nuclear reactors, cyclotrons and generators.

This pillar offers nurses and in general clinicians interacting with patients to acquire basic knowledge and essential skills to effectively support patients in Radiomolecular Precision Oncology. Indeed, nursing plays a crucial role in patient care, thus learning effective patient communication strategies to address their decisions, answer their questions and meet their needs is a major component of the Academy for Theranostics. Moreover, this pillar content explores various therapy video samples to enhance the understanding of procedures and protocols.
