Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, theranostics (a word coined from “therapeutics” and “diagnostics”) have attracted much attention in oncology. A typical theranostic system has an imaging component for investigating a lesion site before treatment and a corresponding therapeutic one. Because the diagnosis makes the selection of suitable treatment and dose adjustment for each patient possible, theranostics can contribute to the realization of personalized medicine. Theranostics combined with a diagnostic and a therapeutic radionuclide is called “radiotheranostics.” This Special Issue will focus on the synthesis and/or evaluation of radiolabeled compounds containing dosimetry for their clinical application, radionuclide production and separation, and combination of a radionuclide with other modalities for not only radiotheranostics but also imaging as companion diagnosis.
You are cordially invited to contribute to this Special Issue “Recent Advances in Techniques with Radionuclide for Theranostic Drugs” with original articles, as well as reviews and short communications. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to the following Keywords.
Dr. Kazuma Ogawa

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Molecules is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
