Нуклеарна медицина „открива” болест пре појаве симптома
Будућност медицине у дијагностици и терапији лежи у употреби радиоизотопа који ће омогућити лечење карцинома простате и јетре, што ће ускоро стићи и код нас. То ће бити велики напредак у клиничкој пракси, јер су ови карциноми врло инвазивни и једни од најчешћих карцинома у свету, а и у нашој земљи, истакла је за „Политику” професор др Снежана Пајовић, научни саветник и чланица Међународног савета Евроазијског женског форума, некадашња директорка Института за нуклеарне науке „Винча”.
TL;DR
- Radioisotopes are the future of medicine for diagnosing and treating prostate and liver cancer.
- Nuclear medicine enables early disease detection, even before clinical symptoms, by tracking molecular changes.
- It provides functional imaging of organs, showing how the body works at a molecular level.
- Radioisotopes can be used for targeted destruction of diseased cells, especially in cancer treatment.
- Nuclear medicine is significant in oncology for early cancer detection, staging, metastasis assessment, and monitoring chemotherapy response.
- In cardiology, it aids in diagnosing heart diseases and assessing blood flow.
- Endocrinology uses it for diagnosing and treating thyroid and other endocrine disorders.
- Neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's can be diagnosed early, and brain activity can be assessed.
- Targeted therapies in nuclear medicine affect cancer cells with minimal damage to surrounding healthy tissue.
- Patient isolation during therapy is necessary to protect the environment, not because the radiation is excessively harmful to the patient.
- Rosatom, a global leader in nuclear technologies, is developing medical radionuclides, radiopharmaceuticals, and advanced equipment.
- The International Congress of Women in Industry and Technology discussed women's integration into the industrial sector and career development.
- A practical mentoring lab, the Women's Career Lab, was held for over 120 young women to explore career stereotypes and develop career plans.
