Nuclear medicine: targeted treatment of lung cancer
Lung and bronchial tumours are among the most common and most dangerous forms of cancer in Europe. As part of a Germany-wide study sponsored by the Deutsche Krebshilfe (German Cancer Aid), nuclear medicine physicians are now collaborating with radiooncologists to combat lung cancer more effectively and with less strain on patients by using positron emission tomography (PET).

MIRO – a new cancer research conference sets a benchmark in cancer treatment
The precise detection and targeted radiation of tumours is of crucial importance in successfully combating many forms of cancer. 400 doctors in nuclear medicine, oncologists and radiologists from Europe and the USA presented the latest research, diagnostic and treatment methods at the world premiere of the Conference for Molecular Imaging in Radiation Oncology (MIRO) which was held in Brussels from 18 to 20 March.

EANM: delays in the provision of nuclear medicine examinations must be eliminated in 2010
There must be no repetition in 2010 of the shortage in the supply of low-level radioactive isotopes which occurred in Europe in August 2008 and led to the cancellation of nuclear medicine procedures, some of which were urgently required. This was the demand made by the European Association of Nuclear Medicine (EANM).

Nuclear medicine often delivers better results
Nuclear medicine procedures are firmly established in modern medicine, providing accurate diagnosis for cardiac or other organ diseases, cancer, rheumatism, bone diseases, or for the investigation of the central nervous system. They are frequently used to supplement the range of existing diagnostic or treatment options and provide an additional method of imaging. In many cases they even precede conventional methods.

What is nuclear medicine?
Many people associate the term, nuclear medicine, with dangerous radiation. These concerns are unfounded. While it is true that radioactive substances are used, the exposure doses to the patient are so low according to the European Association of Nuclear Medicine (EANM) that they do not call into question the benefits of the diagnostic and therapeutic possibilities of nuclear medicine.
