We are proud to expand our cancer care services at Methodist Hospital | Specialty and Transplant with the introduction of an advanced nuclear medicine treatment for patients with metastatic prostate cancer who no longer respond to chemotherapy or other medications. This innovative therapy is a six-week process consisting of six injections and has shown promising results in improving patient outcomes.
Leading this advancement is a specially trained physician, Brandon Childers, MD, and nuclear medicine technician, Mayela Guerra—the first and only professionals in San Antonio to receive this specialized training, with our physician also being the first to achieve certification. Their expertise ensures safe handling of pharmaceuticals and precise monitoring using a nuclear medicine imaging system.
This advancement reflects our commitment to excellence and innovation in healthcare—providing hope and cutting-edge treatment options only available within our healthcare system. “It is a privilege to be the first to introduce this to our San Antonio community and to be able to serve more patients," says Mayela Guerra, Nuclear Medicine Technician.
