Nuclear medicine treatment in Hermosillo
Nuclear medicine treatments are designed to target specific organs or cells, offering precise treatment with minimal impact on the rest of the body. These therapies use specialized medications with small amounts of radioactive material to target diseased cells while protecting healthy tissue.
Common causes
A nuclear medicine treatment or therapy may be recommended after a confirmed diagnosis, when other treatment options have not worked as expected, after surgery to eliminate remaining diseased cells, or when a condition requires a more precise and targeted approach. It may also be considered in advanced or spread disease to help control symptoms, improve quality of life, or as part of a combined treatment plan.
Treatments and procedures
Hyperthyroidism
Hyperthyroidism can be treated with a small dose of radioactive iodine that is absorbed by the thyroid, helping reduce excess activity and restore normal function over time.
Neuroendocrine tumors
Neuroendocrine tumors often have specific receptors that can be targeted with 177Lu-DOTATATE. This therapy binds to those receptors and delivers radiation directly to the tumor cells, helping treat tumors that may not respond well to other treatment options.
Prostate cancer
In prostate cancer, nuclear medicine therapies target cancer cells with precision while protecting healthy tissue. In advanced cases, treatments such as 177Lu-PSMA and 223Ra deliver focused radiation to cancer cells or affected bones, helping control the disease and relieve symptoms like bone pain.
Thyroid cancer
After thyroid surgery, nuclear medicine therapy may be used to help remove any remaining thyroid cells. By using radioactive iodine, doctors can treat areas that cannot be reached with surgery alone and support long-term control of the disease.
