Description of the tour ‘Achievements of Nuclear Medicine in Routine Oncological Practice’

Radioisotope Diagnostics Unit No. 2 (PET Unit) is the largest PET Unit in the CIS and one of the largest in Europe. The unit synthesizes radiopharmaceuticals that are unique to Russia and conducts preclinical and clinical trials together with other units of the oncology centre. The list of radiopharmaceuticals used in the PET department of the Blokhin Centre is one of the most extensive in the world and they meet almost all the needs of clinical oncology. In addition, the PET and Radionuclide Therapy Units are collaborating to introduce a theranostic approach to the treatment of a number of malignancies in which imaging is an integral part of patient care.
