Theranostic in Nuclear Medicine - The paradigm of NET
Hell J Nucl Med. 2023 May-Aug;26 Suppl:42-43.ABSTRACTTheranostics is an emerging field in medicine that combines diagnostics and therapeutics into a single approach. Overall, theranostics represents a promising paradigm for personalized medicine, as it allows for targeted and precise treatment based on individual patient characteristics. In nuclear medicine, theranostics involves the use of radiopharmaceuticals that have both diagnostic and therapeutic properties. Moreover, theranostics in nuclear medicine offers several advantages over traditional cancer treatments. Unlike radiotherapy, in nuclear medicine the therapy is ...

In precision medicine, pioneering young patient teaches veteran doctor
Allison Schablein seems an unlikely candidate to teach medicine to Mark Kieran. She’s an 8-year-old New Hampshire second grader who loves basketball, hip hop, acrobatic dancing and jewelry. He’s a pediatric neuro-oncologist with a PhD in molecular biology, not to mention decades of clinical and research experience. But teach Kieran, Allison does. In December 2012, Allison was diagnosed with metastatic anaplastic astrocytoma brain tumors — two on her brain stem, two on her spine, and three at the top of her head. She had surgery and chemotherapy — and for two months her tumors responded to therapy. Then treatment st...

Nuclear Medicine and its promising applications in gynecological cancers.
Authors: Lioupis M, Syrmos NC Abstract Nuclear medicine is defined as: "the scientific and clinical discipline in which free radionuclides and radionuclide compounds, redistributed in vivo or in vitro by physical or chemical mechanisms, are used for diagnostic, therapeutic or investigative purposes". It seems that the above definition of Nuclear Medicine well includes the fact that Nuclear Medicine embraces into very important areas such as molecular imaging, cellular imaging and tissue imaging. Related to the interesting papers of Çerçi S. S. et al in HJNM, we may additionally state the following: During the las...

A student perspective on the future of nuclear medicine oncology.
Conclusions Nuclear Medicine is a dynamic and ever changing field. Although current established oncology studies in nuclear medicine still provide diagnostic value, new SPECT/CT and PET/CT imaging protocols, have evolved greatly and may prove to hold the future on oncology studies. Many factors influence the types and volumes of studies performed in nuclear medicine. With the introduction of several new promising PET tracers we are optimistic in the future for oncology studies performed in nuclear medicine.

Efforts in the Formation and Development of Nuclear Medicine in Vietnam
AbstractThe foundations of nuclear medicine in Vietnam were established from 1970. Until now, after 48  years of development, in Vietnam, we have some basic equipment including 31 SPECT, 4 SPECT/CT machines, 11 PET/CT scanners, five cyclotrons, and one nuclear reactor. Many nuclear medicine techniques in diagnosis and treatment have been routinely performed at provincial and central level health fac ilities such as tumor scintigraphy, thyroid scintigraphy, bone scintigraphy, kidney scintigraphy, cardiac scintigraphy, and radio-isotope therapy with I-131 and P-32. Selective internal radiation therapy with Y-90 microsphere ...

The modifications brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic to Nuclear Medicine practice.
Authors: Chatzipavlidou V Abstract Nearly 19.9 million cases and more than 730 thousand disease-related deaths have been confirmed in the months that followed WHO's assessment that the novel coronavirus COVID-19, first emerged in Wuhan China on December 2019, could be characterized as a pandemic. The aforementioned coronavirus affected 188 countries as of 8.10.2020. Despite the continually increasing number of COVID-19 cases reported to CDC, at national level, the percentage of visits to outpatient providers and emergency departments has decreased and mortality rates attributed to COVID-19 have declined compared to...

Long-term use of combined conventional medicine and Chinese herbal medicine decreases the mortality risk of patients with lung cancer.
CONCLUSION: CHM users had significantly lower mortality than CHM nonusers. The longer the CHM use, the more the mortality HR declined. Glehnia littoralisF. Schmidt ex Miq., Polyporus umbellatus(Pers.) Fries and Trichosanthes kirilowii Maxim. possess a highly substantial anticancer activity compared with other herbs. PMID: 32951705 [PubMed - in process]

A Novel Diagnostic and Therapeutic Strategy for Cancer Patients by Integrating Chinese Medicine Syndrome Differentiation and Precision Medicine
AbstractApplying Chinese medicine (CM) is an important strategy for malignant tumor treatment in China. One of the significant characteristics of CM is to treat diseases based on syndrome differentiation. For Western medicine, it is of important clinical significance to formulate guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer patients based on the characteristics of disease differentiation. In Chinese clinical practice, the combination of disease differentiation and syndrome differentiation is an important feature for cancer treatment in the past. Currently, molecular profiling and genomic analysis-based precision me...

Real-World Evidence of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Treatment on Cancer: A Literature-Based Review
Evid Based Complement Alternat Med. 2022 Jun 29;2022:7770380. doi: 10.1155/2022/7770380. eCollection 2022.ABSTRACTWhile randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are the gold standard for evidence-based medicine, they do not always reflect the real condition of patients in the real-world setting, which limits their generalizability and external validity. Real-world evidence (RWE), generated during routine clinical practice, is increasingly important in determining external effectiveness of the tightly controlled conditions of RCTs and is well recognized as a valuable complement to RCTs by regulatory bodies currently. Since it co...
