Used to treat thyroid cancer by targeting and destroying cancerous thyroid tissue with minimal impact on surrounding healthy tissue.


Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy (PRRT)

Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy (PRRT)

A targeted treatment for neuroendocrine tumors that delivers radiation directly to cancer cells, minimizing damage to healthy tissue.


Radionuclide Therapy for Bone Metastases

Radionuclide Therapy for Bone Metastases

Using radium-223 or other radioactive substances to target and treat bone metastases in patients with advanced prostate, breast, or other cancers, helping to relieve pain and slow the progression of cancer.


Selective Internal Radiation Therapy (SIRT)

Selective Internal Radiation Therapy (SIRT)
