Tumor imaging and therapy.
Scott AM, Larson SM.
Oncology applications in nuclear medicine include both the staging of tumors,
e.g., bone scanning, and monitoring response to therapy with tumor-specific
radionuclides such as 67Ga-citrate and 201Tl-chloride. An increasing role for
positron emission tomography and monoclonal antibody studies in oncology is
emerging, and therapeutic applications in thyroid cancer and in the treatment of
metastatic bone pain are achieving impressive results. This area is likely to
become the fastest growing component of nuclear medicine practice over the next
decade.
