Thyroid Imaging and Therapy for Thyroid Cancer Webinar
In this patient-focused webinar, Drs. Iagaru and Farwell present an overview of molecular imaging and treatment for thyroid cancer.
To aid in diagnosis and treatment, doctors use molecular imaging to:
-
Determine the exact location of a tumor, the extent or stage of the disease, and whether the cancer has spread in the body
-
Plan treatment by selecting the most effective therapy based on the unique molecular properties of the disease and of the patient’s genetic makeup
-
Determine the patient’s response to specific drugs and ongoing therapy. Based on changes in cellular activity observed on PET-CT images, treatment plans can be quickly altered.
