Nuclear medicine treatment in México City

Nuclear medicine therapies are designed to act directly on specific organs, allowing for precise treatment with less impact on the rest of the body. These therapies use specialized medications with controlled doses of radioactive material.

Common causes

These therapies are usually recommended once a diagnosis has been confirmed, after surgery to eliminate remaining cells, or when the condition requires a more targeted approach. They may also be part of a comprehensive treatment plan in advanced stages, with the goal of controlling symptoms and improving quality of life.

Treatments and procedures

Hyperthyroidism

Hyperthyroidism can be treated with radioactive iodine, which is absorbed exclusively by the thyroid gland. This treatment helps reduce excessive thyroid activity and gradually and safely normalize its function.

Neuroendocrine tumors

Neuroendocrine tumors have unique receptors that absorb 177Lu-DOTATATE. This treatment binds to tumor cells and delivers radiation in a localized manner, making it an effective option in cases that do not respond to other treatments.

Prostate cancer

In prostate cancer, cancer cells can be targeted precisely while protecting healthy tissue. In advanced stages, treatments such as 177Lu-PSMA and 223Ra deliver radiation directly to tumor cells or affected bone areas, helping control the disease and relieve symptoms such as bone pain.

Thyroid cancer

After thyroid surgery, radioactive iodine therapy may be used to eliminate remaining thyroid tissue or cancer cells. This approach allows treatment of areas that cannot be reached with surgery and helps control the disease over the long term.
