Seminars
- Exploring the growing importance of Gallium-68 imaging in radiopharmaceutical clinical development and patient selection strategies
- Navigating the operational, infrastructure and regulatory considerations required to establish and expand Gallium-68 production capabilities
- Discussing how developers, manufacturers and clinical centres can work together to address supply constraints and support future radiopharmaceutical growth
- Sharing personal experiences from treating patients with radioligand therapies, including the moments that transformed perceptions of what targeted radiation can achieve in oncology care
- Reflecting on the emotional, clinical and human realities of guiding patients through RLT treatment journeys, from hope and uncertainty to long-term response and quality-of-life improvement
- Exploring why physicians delivering these therapies believe radiopharmaceuticals have the potential to reshape cancer treatment paradigms and what still needs to change to bring these benefits to more patients earlier in their disease journey
