The Accidental Journey of Shepherding PSMA PET Imaging in Prostate Cancer to the Clinic in the United States - Thomas Hope

Details
Thomas Hope, MD highlights how he came to study somatostatin receptor-based molecular Imaging for neuroendocrine tumors (NET). He takes us back to 2013, to the World Theranostics Conference at Hopkins, focused on neuroendocrine tumors because at that time there were no prostate theranostics. For this work, they put together a gallium dotatate program, which required the same synthesis module requi...
