In the field of medicine, the goal of personalized medicine is to provide tailored treatment plans to individual patients based on their unique biological characteristics. This approach is becoming increasingly important as it enables physicians to optimize patient outcomes while minimizing the risk of adverse effects. One critical tool in personalized medicine is molecular imaging, which enables the visualization of specific biological processes at the molecular level. In this essay, we will explore the role of molecular imaging in personalized medicine. Molecular imaging is now widely used in the treatment of many diseases, with a particular emphasis on cancer care. It refers to the in vivo identification and quantification of key biomolecules and molecular events that underpin malignant conditions. This article discusses both established and emerging molecular imaging methods in oncology. Current molecular imaging techniques have benefits for both clinical cancer care and drug development.
