New Radiomicrosphere Therapy Shows More Effect With Molecular Imaging

A novel form of radiotherapy was unveiled at the Society of Nuclear Medicine's 57th Annual Meeting. This technique, known as radiomicrosphere therapy, involves the injection of tiny highly radioactive beads that "nestle up" with cancerous tumors and destroy them with precision. "Radiomicrosphere therapy guided by molecular imaging is an emerging area of radiotherapy and has the potential to target treatments for cancer patients," said Ron Young, ....Read More
