Planning of Nuclear Medicine in Turkey: Current Status and Future Perspectives

“…Thyroid cancers have shown a dramatic increase in recent years and have become the third most frequently encountered cancer in female population in Turkey (Kanser.gov, 2004(Kanser.gov, -2006Tuncer et al, 2010). I-131 ablation therapy is used in the field of NM, which can treat about 90% of such cancers (Konrády et al, 2011). In addition, some specific and sophisticated treatments are applied in the field of NM such as pain palliation, radiosynovectomy, hepatic radioembolisation and intracavitary treatments and others (Malygina et al, 1978;Murthy et al, 2006;Janen et al, 2010;Liepe et al, 2011).…”
