  HER2 and CD24 Emerge as Promising Radiotheranostic Targets in Endometrial Cancer Introduction Endometrial cancer, the most common gynecological cancer in developed countries, has been steadily rising in incidence worldwide. While early-stage disease often responds well to surgery and conventional therapies, advanced and recurrent cases remain challenging to treat. Over the last decade, researchers have been exploring precision oncology strategies—approaches that target specific molecular markers in cancer cells to improve outcomes. Among these emerging strategies is radiotheranostics , a cutting-edge field that combines diagnostic imaging and targeted radionuclide therapy.
