Program:

Nuclear Medicine is the medical specialty best suited to translate the exploding body of knowledge obtained from research in genetics and molecular biology into the care of patients. This fourth annual nuclear oncology conference will address how this can be done and how positron emission tomography (PET) and single photon emission tomography (SPECT) can be used in the care of patients with cancer or with increased genetic risk of developing cancer. The course will include illustrative patient studies showing how PET and SPECT can help in diagnosis, staging and treatment planning and monitoring of patients with cancer.

Registrants will learn:

    1.) How PET and SPECT can help detect the first signs of disease in patients with cancer or with           increased genetic risk of cancer.
     2.) How PET and SPECT studies help in the care of patients with cancer.
     3.) How to use PET/SPECT imaging in the light of the patient's clinical problems.
