Patient Day - 3rd Theranostics World Congress

 

Registration is now closed - there is no walk up registration.  We will work on getting the videos on-line as soon as they are available.  Please contact us if you have any questions.

The Congress, Co-sponsored by the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) and Johns Hopkins Medicine, is intended for those interested in translational research and current state-of-the-art molecular imaging using 68Ga PET radiopharmaceuticals and radionuclide therapy.

 

The term "theranostics" symbolizes the inseparability of diagnosis and therapy and has a profound effect personalized disease management though widely used in Europe, 68Ga PET radiopharmaceuticals have only been used in the US in investigational trials under INDs.

 

With the potential of an approved agent available in the US in the near future, this conference is particularly useful to those who are new to this class of agent and want to hear more about it. A team of experts from around the world present their research and discuss updates in this exciting and evolving field.

 

Presentations on clinical applications and patient advocacy are new to this Congress, providing a unique perspective for attendees.

The Patient Education Day at the 3rd Theranostics World Congress will allow patients and their caregivers to attend the 3rd day of the congress (Saturday) focusing on the patient and the current thinking on imaging and therapy for NET patients using Theranostics as well as the current availability in the US.

 

Registration for patients and their caregivers for Saturday is free of charge.  Pre registration is required and must be done prior to March 8th. No CME credits are available for registration through this program.

 

Saturday sessions start at 8am so those not living in the area may wish to stay overnight on March 13. The conference Marriot Baltimore Waterfront no longer has conference rate available, but there are several hotels nearby that have less expensive rates.

 

Thank you to the event sponsors, the program committee and our non profit sponsors, Caring for Carcinoid Foundation and the Carcinoid Cancer Foundation for making the event available to patients at no charge.  To learn more about the conference click here. Registration services for the patient program are hosted by NorCal CarciNet Community.
