Cancer 'digital twins' optimize personalized radiation therapy

Radiopharmaceutical therapy is a powerful cancer treatment that delivers radiation directly to cancer cells, but finding the perfect dose to kill the tumor without harming healthy organs is highly complex. To solve this, researchers designed a framework to build "theranostic digital twins." These are highly detailed, virtual computational replicas of individual patients. By simulating how a specific patient's body and tumor will react to the radiation, doctors can test different dosing strategies virtually. This personalized approach aims to maximize the therapy's cancer-killing effectiveness while minimizing toxic side effects for the patient.
