Part I: Understanding Molecular Imaging and Radioligy and Therapy: What Every Patient Should Know

In this first of a two-part podcast episode, Dr. Phillip Davis and Dr. Dan Stevens follow up on the symposium topic of “New Treatments for Prostate Cancer.” In Part I, Dr. Philip Davis explains molecular imaging, which uses a low dose of radioactive medicine to detect cancer and other diseases early, as well as providing doctors with both anatomic and functional information on the cancer cells. Dr. Dan Stevens details radioligy and therapy, which uses radioactive isotopes to target cancer cells more precisely than traditional radiation therapy. Both technologies offer improved treatment options, enhancing patient outcomes.
