Overview
The Centre for Nuclear Medicine & Molecular Theranostics at Sarvodaya Cancer Institute, one of India’s most advanced cancer care centres, brings together precise diagnosis and targeted cancer treatment using advanced nuclear medicine and therapies.
We are proudly associated with the Oncidium Foundation, a global organisation dedicated to promoting access to Radio Theranostics in cancer care. Some cancers respond better to nuclear therapies than conventional methods.
Nuclear Therapies at Sarvodaya Hospital, Faridabad, Delhi NCR
Nuclear therapy is a powerful, targeted form of cancer treatment that uses small doses of radioactive substances to destroy cancer cells, without harming the healthy ones around them. Delivered through injection or ingestion, this therapy finds the exact location of cancer in the body and treats it right at the source. At Sarvodaya Cancer Institute, the best oncologists in Faridabad and Delhi NCR offer some of the most advanced nuclear medicine therapies in India, providing hope and effective results, especially in cancers resistant to traditional treatments.
Here are the key therapies available at our nuclear medicine hospital in Faridabad, Delhi NCR:
- Iodine MIBG Therapy: A high-dose therapy for advanced neuroblastoma, commonly found in infants and very young children. It helps shrink tumours that arise from nerve tissues.
- Alpha PSMA Therapy: A highly targeted internal radiotherapy used to manage advanced prostate cancer at the cellular level with great precision.
- Lutetium PSMA Therapy: Especially helpful for prostate cancer patients who no longer respond to conventional treatment, this therapy slows tumour growth and eases cancer-related pain.
- PRRT (DOTATATE Therapy): Used for treating neuroendocrine tumours (NETs), this therapy helps control tumour growth and reduces related symptoms.
- Alpha PRRT Therapy: Delivers radiation directly to cancer cells through specific receptors, while protecting surrounding healthy tissues from damage.
- TARE (Transarterial Radioembolisation): Also known as SIRT, this minimally invasive treatment targets liver cancer by delivering radiation directly into the tumour through the blood supply.
- Radioimmunotherapy (RIT): Combines the power of radiation with immunotherapy, where radioactive antibodies locate and destroy cancer cells effectively.
- Radiosynovectomy: A reliable therapy for arthritis-related conditions, this involves injecting tiny radioactive particles into the joint to reduce inflammation and pain.
- FAPI PTRT (Peptide Targeted Radionuclide Therapy): A promising therapy showing effectiveness in hard-to-treat cancers like breast cancer, sarcoma, colon cancer, and lung cancer, by directly targeting tumour cells.
Molecular Theranostics
Molecular Theranostics is a combination of therapy and diagnostics that seamlessly integrates diagnosis and therapy for precise and personalized cancer treatment. It uses specialised molecules, often radiopharmaceuticals, that possess diagnostic and therapeutic properties.
Firstly, a lower drug dose is injected into the body that targets specific biomarkers or receptors on cancer cells, providing insights into the exact location, extent, and nature of a disease.
Simultaneously, the higher dose of the same drug is delivered directly to the particular cancerous site, maximizing efficacy in killing cancer cells while minimizing collateral damage to healthy tissues and causing minimum to no side effects.
Benefits of Nuclear Medicine Therapy in Cancer Treatment
- Targeted Treatment - Radiopharmaceuticals specifically target the cancer cells and deliver the radiation directly to the site. This minimizes damage to surrounding healthy tissues, improving the therapeutic ratio.
- Localisation - Nuclear medicine allows for precise localization and imaging of cancer at the molecular level. This enables accurate diagnosis and staging, aiding in treatment planning and monitoring.
- Personalised Approach - Nuclear medicine therapy can be tailored to an individual's specific molecular and genetic profiles, allowing personalized treatment plans and increasing the likelihood of a successful outcome.
- Effective for Resistant Cancers - Some cancers, particularly those that are resistant to other forms of treatment, may respond well to nuclear medicine therapy. For example, metastatic bone cancer or certain types of neuroendocrine tumours.
- Minimal Side Effects - Since the medicine is targeted, the side effects of nuclear medicine therapy are generally less severe compared to other methods. It causes no harm to other healthy organs and tissues, the patient doesn’t lose their hair etc.
- Non-Invasive and Pain-Free - Nuclear medicine therapies are typically non-invasive and painless for the patient. They do not require surgical incisions.
