For oncology patients, Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging is required to differentiate benign lesions from malignant tumors, to determine stage of cancer, to determine the grade of each tumor and its invasion into organs, to investigate metastasis, detect relapse, choose treatment option, to evaluate response to the treatment (chemo- or radio-sensitivity), to locate the primary tumor and to deliver the accurate dose to the correct body part.
Our clinic treats thyroid cancer, prostate cancer, neuroendocrine tumor, neuroblastoma, primary or metastatic liver tumors and some forms of lymphoma and provides palliative therapy for bone metastases along with radionuclide therapies.
Intraoperative Gamma Probe is applied to manage head & neck tumors and urogenital tumors, although predominately breast cancer and malignant melanoma are exposed. After the sentinel lymph node that is fed by cancer tissue is marked with a radioactive substance, it is possible to expose and excise this node with a probe system during surgery.
