Overview

At UVA Health Nuclear Medicine Clinic, we offer theranostics, a drug, to help diagnose and treat certain cancers. With just one injection, your physician can see if a tumor or cancer cells are present. That same injection also delivers targeted radiation treatment to shrink those tumor or cancer cells. This targeted approach to treatment has fewer side effects than traditional radiation or chemotherapy.
