Produktbeschreibung

The main purpose of this book is to create a reference for the indications, contraindications, patient selection, treatment practice, treatment side effect management, and follow-up of radionuclide treatments.

Besides standard methods such as surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and hormone therapy, newly developed biological treatments, targeted treatments, personalized treatments, external beam radiotherapy, and targeted radionuclide treatments have begun to take their place in professional practice.

Nuclear medicine, in addition to its role as a tracer of cancer, also assumes the role of treating with radioactive molecules directed to the cancer it traces. These traceable next-generation radionuclide treatments, whose efficacy and reliability have been proven and where diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up are carried out together, are increasingly included in oncology practice together with the new developed radiopharmaceuticals, ensuring a high rate of damage to cancer cells while protecting the surrounding normal tissues. Molecular cancer treatment will become more effective with individualized next-generation traceable radionuclide treatments, which will be shaped by genetic studies in the future.

Radionuclide treatments for many cancer types and benign diseases are presented by experienced nuclear medicine experts in the light of their own experience and case studies, while systemic treatments in common cancer types and side effect management of these treatments are summarized by medical oncologists.

This book will be of interest to nuclear medicine physicians as well as oncologists.

He teaches at the medical faculty and health vocational high school. He is a member of professional scientific organizations and works actively in working groups in these organizations. Prof. Dr. Berna Polack, a nuclear medicine specialist by training, has been working in molecular imaging and radioligand therapies since 1991. She became a nuclear medicine professor in 2005 at Dokuz Eylul University, Izmir, Turkey.  Dr. Polack has a European Nuclear Medicine Fellowship Board. During her carrier, she also worked as research professor and visiting professor positions at the Pittsburg University of Medical Center (July 2003- October 2004), Cornell University Weil Medical College Radiology Department (July 2013-December 2014), and Columbia University Medical Center Radiology Department (September 2016- May 2017). During her positions, she presented lectures in radiology residency training programsand attended research studies as well as imaging evaluation and multidisciplinary oncology tumor boards. She is the first or co-author of multiple publications published in SCI and SCI-expanded medical journals and two international nuclear medicine textbook chapters. She is the editor of a book entitled "PET/CT in Oncology". Dr. Polack presented numerous congress presentations in national and international congresses. Additionally, she was awarded multiple national and international nuclear medicine research awards. She served as a director of the Turkish Nuclear Medicine Association Oncology Task Group. After she retired from Dokuz Eylul University in 2017, Dr. Polack joined the pharmaceutical industry, focusing on innovative molecular imaging and radioligand therapies. She is currently working as Medical Director, Prostate Cancer RLT at Novartis.

Rezensionen

"This book helpful in describing in further detail radium therapy, which I am currently involved in administering in my trust. In addition it was a great insight into other therapies I am not familiar with. The text is written in a way that makes it easy to access new information, as well as containing very detailed explanations and science theory. I would recommend it as a resource to keep returning to, in order to further knowledge about radionuclide therapies." (Jasmine Cheesewright, RAD Magazine, August, 2024)
