SNM releases new fact sheet on breast cancer and molecular imaging

Keeping up the inspirational momentum, the SNM promotes the importance of research on molecular imaging by releasing a new fact sheet. It lists out the power of molecular imaging as

  • Diagnose cancer early on—at its most curable stage;
  • Create a portrait of what cells are doing and how they function over time;
  • Eliminate the need for unnecessary exploratory surgery or multiple surgeries;
  • Provide a painless and cost-effective alternative to more expensive—and less accurate—diagnostic tests;
  • Confirm and treat suspected recurrent cancers;
  • Monitor an individual's response to treatment and make adjustments as necessary;
  • Equip physicians and individuals with information to make informed decisions about the best courses of action.

Well, these points should suffice the persistence for MI research. For details click here
