Caption
The Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) has released a new infographic showing how certain types of cancer can be treated using nuclear medicine therapy. Targeted Cancer Treatment with Nuclear Medicine Therapy is a visual guide to radioisotope therapy, a personalized treatment where a radioactive drug compound seeks and destroys cancer cells.
The infographic highlights the types of cancer that can be treated with targeted radioisotope therapy (TRT) -- including thyroid, liver, prostate, neuroblastoma, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and metastatic neuroendocrine tumors. It breaks down the specific radioisotope treatment for each area and its effectiveness in patients.
