Sarvodaya Hospital in Sector 8, Faridabad, partnered with the Association of Nuclear Medicine Physicians of India to host a three-day nuclear medicine conference at Hotel Vivanta, Surajkund. The conference brought together 250 doctors from India and around the world to discuss advancements and treatment approaches in nuclear medicine.

The conference, titled "Nuclear Medicine – New Clear & Beyond," aimed to discuss the growing use of nuclear medicine in cancer treatment. It featured discussions on PET scan interpretation, biopsies, nuclear cardiology, thyroid cancer, precision molecular imaging, prostate cancer, and nuclear therapies, attracting seasoned physicians from various regions.

Dr Swagat Dash, Head of Department and Senior Consultant in Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Theranostics at Sarvodaya Hospital, who also served as the conference’s organizing secretary, said, “Nuclear Medicine plays a pivotal role in cancer care. It is increasingly important in treating various cancer types, including those less amenable to surgery, such as prostate cancer, lung cancer, and stomach cancer. The conference shed light on novel subjects and technologies, paving the way for extensive testing and research in the field.”

Dr Rakesh Gupta, Chairman, Sarvodaya Healthcare, said, “This conference is a huge step towards spreading awareness about nuclear medicine and its new techniques, therapies and treatments which will eventually help in better outcomes in cancer treatment. Now people don’t need to go to far-off places or abroad for cancer treatment. We can now offer high-end cancer treatment through surgical and non-surgical techniques, in which nuclear medicine plays a pivotal role.”
