Who knew something so small could deliver such powerful results!

FDG is used in PET scans to detect nearly every type of cancer. But what is FDG? It’s radioactive sugar 🤯

A typical FDG PET scan contains only a few micrograms of glucose (sugar). For comparison, the teaspoon of sugar you add to your coffee contains millions of micrograms.

A spoonful of sugar might help the medicine go down—but in PET imaging, just a trace of sugar helps us hunt down cancer.🍭

Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer worldwide. It's also a cancer that's increasingly being diagnosed in young adults.

That's why research into advanced treatment options is so important—and it's happening at BAMF. Right now, we have FIVE therapy clinical trials open for individuals with colorectal cancer.

You can find them all on our Clinical Trials page: https://www.bamfhealth.com/clinical-trials/

Confusing right? 🥴

So many different words, terms, and acronyms to describe the same thing—the therapy we offer at BAMF. So what is it REALLY?

It’s a treatment delivered through an IV injection that circulates the body, binds to specific receptors on diseased cells, and delivers radiation to diseased cells over a short range, typically millimeters or less.

It’s precise. It’s targeted. And minimizes damage to healthy cells.

What do we call it? LIFESAVING.

This month, you'll hear a lot about what Theranostics means to us. But our patients have a unique perspective we don't.

We asked our patient, Bill, what Theranostics means to him, and he said, "Hope". Hope that one day more options will be available for people like him.

What does Theranostics mean to you? Tell us in the comments.

It’s World Theranostics Month!

We’re taking a one-day holiday on March 31st and turning it into a month-long celebration—because Theranostics is what we know and do best.

👨🏻‍⚕️ Theranostics dates back to the 1940s when Dr. Saul Hertz used radioactive iodine to treat thyroid disease.

💉 Theranostics, as a word, is the combination of therapy + diagnostics [thera-nostics]. You’ll often hear it referred to as “precision medicine” because it’s a precise and targeted approach to finding and treating diseases.

🧪 Even though Theranostics has been practiced for decades, it’s gathering momentum and attention now because we’re seeing incredible success in prostate cancer and neuroendocrine patients. Now, pharma companies are working to create theranostic options for dozens of cancers and other devastating diseases.

👩🏽‍🔬 Many of those options are available via clinical trials right here at BAMF!
