Therapeutic Nuclear Medicine

Therapeutic Nuclear Medicine is a specialized branch of medicine that uses small amounts of radioactive materials to treat diseases, particularly cancer. Unlike traditional treatments, this approach targets specific cells, delivering radiation directly to tumors while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue. Patients may receive these treatments through injection or other methods, helping to shrink tumors or alleviate symptoms. The process is closely monitored by healthcare professionals, ensuring safety and effectiveness, and it usually complements other cancer therapies, enhancing overall treatment outcomes.
