World Theragnostics Day 2025
This day isn’t only about Theragnostics- it’s also about innovation and the possibilities it holds. And that is something worth celebrating!
This marks the day when Dr Saul Hertz on March 31st, 1941, made history by administering the first radioiodine treatment at Massachusetts General Hospital. A groundbreaking moment in medical history! The word theragnostics is cool but also derived from the Greek words therapia and diagnosis. Pretty neat, right?
By bridging the gap between diagnosis and treatment, it’s paving the way for a paradigm shift in care of complex diseases such as cancer. The method has real potential in nuclear medicine, where radioactive isotopes are used for both diagnostic imaging studies and targeted treatment. That’s the beauty of theragnostics!
Theragnostics opens doors to more hopeful treatment for patients with complex diseases and are on the way to changing cancer care to be more tailored and patient-centered.
Not quite sure what theragnostics is all about? No worries, backed by 25+ years in nuclear medicine, we’re experts in the field. Here’s a quick crash course to fill in some knowledge gaps:
