Distinguished Investigator
A Distinguished Investigator of Theranostics is a level of distinction conferred upon an individual physician who has demonstrated a mastery of conducting novel radioligand therapies and molecular imaging clinical trials.
RLT Components
RADIOLIGAND THERAPY (RLT) is a highly effective approach to very accurately locating cancer cells and effectively killing those same cells by delivery various radioisotopes to a specific target that is located on a type of cancer. Some of the Radioisotopes are diagnostic for locating cancers & some therapeutic to treat the cancers.
There are several Components to a RLT that are simply demonstrated in the truck diagram including:
- Cancer Targets
- Ligand (demonstrated as the Truck GPS set to find a specific Target)
- Diagnostic Radioisotopes (demonstrated as light bulbs that light the cancer Targets on a PET scan)
- Therapeutic Radioisotopes (demonstrated as bombs that kill cancer cells that express the target with either Alpha or Beta radiation)
- Linker (demonstrated as the hitch keeping the Radioisotope attached to the Ligand)
- Chelator (demonstrated as the Trailers which keeps the Radioisotope on Target).
