Webinar: Radionuclide Diagnostics & Theranostics – Theory and Clinical Practice Meet!
Nuclear payloads, guided missiles, directed assassinations…not in global conflict or wars, but prostate cancer and what happens inside bodies of men getting radionuclide theranostics (treatment) and diagnostics (scanning) today.
Radionuclide treatment for prostate cancer is at least 10 years old – does that surprise you? Bayer’s Xofigo was approved in 2013 but adoption has been slow until recent FDA approvals of theranostics (treatment) viz. Pluvicto, and diagnostics (scans) like Illucix and Posluma.
Radionuclides are theory-intense with nuclear medicine doctors less exposed to treatment of advanced prostate cancer. Conversely, GU medical oncologists are less familiar with radionuclides than hormone and chemo-therapy.
Two global experts, GU medical oncologist Dr. Oliver Sartor and nuclear medicine guru, Dr. Philip Kuo will introduce radionuclide theranostics and diagnostics and discuss how the clinic and the theory intersect.
