NUCLEAR MEDICINE TECHNOLOGY

In the department of Nuclear Medicine at Omega Bannu Hospital, the team of specialists diagnose and treat cancer by administering radioactive substances. The doctors use several radionuclides, which are administered intravenously, orally, or inhaled. Radionuclides are derivatives of radioactive elements such as gallium, technetium, xenon, thallium, and iodine.

While blood tests are conducted, medications are modified, and therapy is prepared, it might take up to a month before you can start therapy. We offer outpatient treatment which continues on-site for up to eight hours each time.

The treatments prescribed by our team take into account many factors and are adjusted over time based on individual circumstances. As part of the infusion treatments, one might be asked to have a SPECT scan, which measures how much nuclear medicine therapy is stuck to the cancer cells and how quickly it is leaving the body. Our oncologists make therapy decisions based on this information so that they can cure cancer while avoiding side effects. We encourage our patients to follow up with us post-therapy, including more blood tests and scans that may be necessary.

Treatments in Nuclear Medicine:

Radioimmunotherapy:

Our doctors recommend Radioimmunotherapy if one has Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma that doesn’t respond to chemotherapy. Also known as RIT, this treatment combines radiation therapy with immunotherapy

Radioactive Iodine Therapy:

Our doctors recommend Radioactive Iodine Therapy if one’s thyroid gland absorbs almost all the iodine taken in. Radioactive iodine therapy prevents other parts of your body from being damaged without damaging your cells. In some cases, it destroys other cancer cells of the body where thyroid cancer has spread.

Brachytherapy:

In most cases, brachytherapy is recommended by our doctors as it is more targeted, causes fewer side effects, and is shorter than conventional radiation therapy.

Y 90 Radioembolization:

This treatment is typically used to treat hepatocellular carcinomas and liver cancers.
