    A team at London Health Sciences Centre Research Institute (LHSCRI) is the first in Canada to treat a patient with a rare form of cancer using a radioisotope called actinium-225 DOTATATE. “Introducing a new treatment option to patients is a big win in the fight against cancer,” says Dr. David Laidley, Researcher at LHSCRI and Nuclear Oncologist at LHSC. Read more on the global study from LHSCRI below!

    A patient at London Health Sciences Centre (LHSC) is the first in Canada to receive a new form of cancer treatment using a radioisotope to target neuroendocrine tumours. This rare radioisotope – called actinium-225 DOTATATE – is a new type of cancer treatment being tested in a global study. Dr. David Laidley, scientist at LHSCRI, highlights that while the study is in its early phase, patients tolerate the therapy well and he and his team are hopeful this treatment may extend patients’ quality of life and life expectancy.

    Positive progress update: Nuclear Medicine Europe has received an update from NRG on the HFR reactor restart delay. The technical solution for safe restart is progressing well, with a new target date of 14 November. Meanwhile, South Africa’s NTP Radioisotopes has secured regulatory approval to boost Mo-99 production from 21 October to 10 November. Nuclear Medicine Europe acknowledges the Tc-99m shortages affecting medical institutions due to global Mo-99 supply disruptions (approximately 40% below normal demand). We will continue to monitor and communicate as more information becomes available. Read below the full statement published this Friday evening by the Emergency Response Team. #radioisotopes #supply #NMEU #isotopes #mo99 #tc99m

  • 🌟 Highlighting the vital role of Nuclear Medicine Physicians 🌟 In the evolving landscape of healthcare, nuclear medicine (NM) remains a cornerstone of early diagnosis, targeted treatment, and patient-centered care. At the heart of these advances are NM physicians, experts uniquely trained to interpret complex imaging, administer cutting-edge treatments, and guide patient care with precision and compassion. More than diagnosticians, NM physicians actively treat patients, applying innovative therapies that target specific conditions improving outcomes and enhancing quality of life. As The Canadian Association of Nuclear Medicine - CANM we’re proud to represent Canada’s leading NM professionals, ensuring that clinical practices evolve with integrity, scientific rigor, and the highest standards of patient care. CANM is Canada’s dedicated authority on nuclear medicine, advocating for our community of specialists and defining the standards of excellence for the field. Let's continue to support the work of our NM physicians—Canada’s trusted experts in nuclear medicine! #NuclearMedicine #CANM #MedicalImaging #PatientCare #NuclearMedicineExperts #TargetedTreatment

    💡 Did you know? PET scans can diagnose and detect a number of serious diseases more accurately in comparison to other tests. Ontario has some of the lowest PET scan usage rates in the country. The #MorePETs Coalition wants to change this by increasing awareness about PET scans and their benefits. 👉 Learn more about PET scans in Ontario – visit www.morepets.ca. #ONhealth

    𝗡𝘂𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗠𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗘𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲 𝗔𝗱𝗱𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝗚𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘂𝗺 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗹𝘆 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀 Nuclear Medicine Europe has been contacted by medical facilities in the EU and US regarding the current global supply of Mo-99 which has been negatively impacted by an unscheduled outage of the HFR reactor in the Netherlands leading to the likely cancellation of the scheduled production cycle. As a result, the supply chain of this critical #radioisotope has been disrupted, impacting medical facilities that rely on Tc-99m for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. Nuclear Medicine Europe works closely with reactor operators to align their production schedules in order to ensure the supply of Mo-99. Our role is to provide a platform for stakeholders to discuss common interests, monitor radioisotope production, and ensure transparent communication between all parties involved in the supply chain. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘀 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗮 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗖𝘆𝗰𝗹𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗖𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗱? In the event of a disruption in Mo-99 production, the Nuclear Medecine Europe Emergency Response Team (ERT), comprised of representatives from reactor operators and Tc-99m generator producers convenes promptly to address the issue. These meetings focus on potentially realigning reactor schedules if feasible or other measures to mitigate impact on based on patient care. Outcomes from every ERT meeting are communicated to the European Observatory, a joint initiative between the Euratom Supply Agency and Nuclear Medicine Europe, and are distributed thereafter. These updates are crucial in keeping all stakeholders informed of progress and developments. Tc-99m generator suppliers around the world have already informed their customers about the situation and are the best source of information on day-day supply. For more detailed information on the coordination and logistics of radioisotope supply, we invite you to read our publication, "𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘕𝘶𝘤𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘔𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘯𝘦 𝘚𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘰𝘳 𝘊𝘰𝘰𝘳𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘴 𝘐𝘴𝘰𝘵𝘰𝘱𝘦 𝘚𝘶𝘱𝘱𝘭𝘺". This document outlines the logistics of radioisotope coordination and revisits a similar supply chain disruption that occurred in 2022 : https://lnkd.in/eEJeWHEB The photos below were captured at Sunday's meeting of the Security of Supply Working Group, held during the European Association of Nuclear Medicine (EANM) Congress in Hamburg.
