Draftify?
[edit]I considered a cleanup, but there is just too much vaguely or directly promotional language woven into the prose. Some of it would belong in a scientific paper to sell the importance of the topic, but it is not appropriate for encyclopedic purposes. Suggestion: draftify pending cleanup?

- It looks like there were a few improvements removing the marketing language since you've posted, so I have marked it as reviewed after cleaning up the lead. I have strongly encouraged the author to use edit requests as they are a paid editor, please make sure promotional material is not inserted back into the article.

- I suggest to clean the page, the topic theranostics have importance in the current scientific and medicinal scenario but the article is misguiding the basic concepts. Rahulsoman (talk) 04:44, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
- OOPs! Dr Saul Hertz, as the originator of Theranosics and Dr Hertz;'s enduring contribution needs to be added... seeThe Accomplishments and Legacy of Saul Hertz, MD

Different framing for this topic
[edit]As things stand now, theranostics (therapy + diagnostics) is mostly a vision for the future of medicine - in which in the same session, or using the very same hardware, imaging & diagnosis are immediately or almost immediately followed by therapeutic action in the same setting. The whole article should be based on this premise.
Also, the term itself has been the object of debate as some scientists have argued that it really does not introduce/denote any new concept - see for instance [1] Nulans114 (talk) 14:50, 17 July 2025 (UTC)

Overly detailed tag - Suggestion
[edit]Overlay detailed tag is still here. Most of the [duplicated] detail is in the two sections Imaging Techniques and Therapeutic approaches that just seem to summarise other Wiki articles. Suggest these 2 sections be reduced to one sentence per sub section, each with a wiki link to those articles. - Rod57 (talk) 11:59, 19 December 2025 (UTC)
Potential AI-generated text
[edit]Concerns have been raised about AI-generated content in this article. This is a procedural talk page section to discuss it. The rationale listed is: appears to be since v1; text has been edited a lot to remove issues (which are issues common of AI) but much text still remains Gnomingstuff (talk) 04:24, 9 May 2026 (UTC)
