The gastrin-releasing peptide receptor (GRPR) is overexpressed in various
cancers, including prostate cancer, breast cancer, small cell and non-small cell
lung cancer, uterine and ovarian cancer, colon cancer, and gastrointestinal
stromal tumors. This makes GRPR a multicancer target for theranostics, that is,
molecular imaging and therapy. Here, we explore the current state of
GRPR-targeted theranostics from bench to bedside, highlighting the preclinical
development of various GRPR-targeting compounds and clinical applications. We
review the role of GRPR-targeted molecular imaging for all stages of prostate
cancer, breast cancer, and other tumors and provide a quo vadis GRPR. We aimed
to offer a comprehensive overview of GRPR-targeted theranostics to inform
researchers, clinicians, pharma, and regulators of the potential benefits and
emerging opportunities in the pursuit of personalized precision cancer care.
