Advanced Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment with Nuclear Medicine at Rohilkhand Cancer Institute – Led by Dr. Ankit Kumar in Bareilly

At the forefront of cancer diagnosis and precision treatment, Rohilkhand Cancer Institute (RCI) in Bareilly is proud to offer state-of-the-art nuclear medicine and PET-CT services, under the expert care of Dr. Ankit Kumar, a specialist in Nuclear Medicine. As cancer care continues to evolve, nuclear medicine plays a critical role in early detection, accurate staging, and monitoring of treatment response.

What is Nuclear Medicine?

Nuclear medicine is a highly advanced medical specialty that uses small amounts of radioactive materials (radiotracers) to examine organ function and structure. In oncology, it allows for early detection of cancer, even before structural changes occur, giving patients a better chance at successful treatment outcomes.

Nuclear Medicine is a non-invasive medical speciality. the process involves injecting a small number of radio-pharmaceuticals into patients, some specific radio-pharmaceuticals may also be given by oral and inhalational routes to assess medical conditions for diagnostic molecular imaging and therapeutics. These medical conditions include cancer, heart disease, gastrointestinal, endocrine, or neurological disorders, and other conditions. Nuclear medicine exams pinpoint molecular activity. This gives them the potential to find disease in its earliest stages. They can also show whether you are responding to treatment or not. With the addition of new technologies like hybrid imaging combined with nuclear medicine and other advanced techniques like PET/CT PET/MRI, the field of nuclear medicine has grown by leaps and bounds.

What is PET-CT

Positron emission tomography :

Positron emission tomography, also called PET imaging or a PET scan, is a type of nuclear medicine imaging. It is a functional imaging technique used to observe metabolic processes in the human body. Current PET equipment is an integrated PET-CT machine that allows the acquisition of both PET and CT on one platform. PET provides the essential signals of the tumour, and CT helps in localisation.

Upon requiring a regional contrast-enhanced CT (CECT) scan, can also be performed with the same equipment in the same sitting. Which helps us in early diagnosis, response assessment, restaging, and follow-up of cancer patients. Nowadays it is also very useful for radiation oncologists in radiotherapy planning. Many a time, we used to do PET-based tumour biopsy and reduce the multiple procedures. PET may also detect complex systemic diseases such as coronary artery disease, memory disorders, and seizures. PET has diagnostic value in the fever of unknown origin when all other investigations are exhausted.

NOTE- Just like a few other procedures, this scan also requires a patient to be prepared in advance as per the doctor’s instructions.

PET-CT: A Game-Changer in Cancer Diagnosis

At RCI, PET-CT (Positron Emission Tomography – Computed Tomography) is used to provide a comprehensive and highly accurate picture of cancer. By combining metabolic and anatomical imaging, PET-CT scans help:

• Detect tumors early and precisely

• Determine the exact stage of cancer

• Guide treatment planning

• Monitor the effectiveness of therapies

• Identify recurrence at the earliest stage
