This book discusses the role of nuclear medicine in the diagnosis, staging, and treatment of patients with specific cancers. It presents the incidence, pathophysiologic and clinical aspects of the disease, the use of nuclear imaging in diagnosis, staging requirements, management of specific tumors, and surveillance after primary treatment of cancers. It addresses the various diagnostic/therapeutic options that are currently available or are most likely to become available in the near future according to a prioritized approach, thereby keeping to a minimum the number of diagnostic imaging procedures the patient is expected to undergo.

Topics include basic science, clinical applications, radionuclide therapy, radioguided surgery, heart disease in the cancer patient, and adverse effects of cancer therapy. Each clinical chapter discusses the radionuclide procedures within an integrated framework, thereby identifying the information required for effective treatment of specific tumors. The book concludes with a series of updated cases that define and expand the didactic material in the clinical application chapters. Thoroughly updated and revised, the third edition incorporates new clinical evidence validating the use of radionuclides for diagnosis and therapy in oncology, new radiotracers, and the growing integration of imaging modalities into different types of hybrid imaging.

With contributions from a group of internationally distinguished practitioners, Nuclear Oncology: From Pathophysiology to Clinical Applications, Third Edition, is a valuable reference for nuclear medicine physicians, radiologists, medical and surgical oncologists, and other clinicians involved in the care and management of cancer patients.

H. William Strauss H. William Strauss is an Emeritus Professor of Radiology at the Weill Cornell Medical Center and Emeritus Attending Physician at the Molecular Imaging and Therapy Service at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (New York, NY, USA). Some of his previous positions include Chief of Nuclear Medicine and Professor of Radiology at Stanford University School of Medicine (Stanford, CA, USA), Chief of Nuclear Medicine at the Massachusetts General Hospital, and Professor of Radiology at Harvard Medical School (Boston, MA, USA). He also served as Vice-President of Diagnostics Drug Discovery at Bristol-Myers Squibb (Princeton, NJ, USA).He is a prolific investigator with over 700 articles published in the peer-reviewed literature. He is a co-author of 70 book chapters and coeditor of eleven books. He has been widely recognized for his work with named lectureships, life memberships and honorary degrees. He is a member of the American Society of Clinical Investigation and a life member of the American Board of Nuclear Medicine, as well as a fellow of both the American College of Nuclear Physicians and the American College of Nuclear Medicine.In recognition of his seminal studies particularly in cardiovascular nuclear medicine, which have greatly advanced nuclear medicine science and have had exceptionally high clinical impact, he has been awarded the two most prestigious prizes in the field of nuclear medicine, the Georg Charles de Hevesy Nuclear Pioneer Award, and the Benedict Cassen Prize.He is a Past President of the Society of Nuclear Medicine, former editor of The Journal of Nuclear Medicine, and has served on the editorial board of that journal, as well as six other juried publications, among which the European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, Journal of Nuclear Cardiology, Quarterly Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging.Giuliano MarianiBefore retiring from academia, between 2001-2014 Giuliano Mariani has served as Full Professor of Nuclear Medicine at the University of Pisa (Pisa, Italy), where he was also Director of the Postgraduate Specialty School in Nuclear Medicine, and Director of the Regional Center of Nuclear Medicine of the University Hospital of Pisa. Before serving at the University of Pisa, between 1994-2001 he has held similar appointments at the University of Genoa Medical School and at the University Hospital of Genoa (Genoa, Italy). His curriculum studiorum includes MD graduation in 1968 at the Catholic University in Rome (Rome, Italy) and graduation at the Specialty schools of the University of Pisa (Pisa, Italy) in Internal Medicine (1972), Nuclear Medicine (1974), Medical Nephrology (1976), and Radiology (1979), all graduations having been obtained maximum cum laude.His academic career also includes an appointment as Visiting Scientist and Expert Consultant at the Metabolism Branch, National Cancer Institute of the National Institutes of Health (Bethesda, Maryland, USA) between 1974-1978, and as Visiting Professor and Lecturer of Radiology at the Harvard Medical School (Boston, Massachusetts, USA) between 1986-1990. In addition, has received several appointments as an Expert Consultant of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA, Vienna, Austria) for carrying out and developing training programs in Nuclear Medicine throughout the world.Giuliano Mariani's interests span over virtually all clinical applications of Nuclear Medicine, including both diagnostic and therapeutic applications, with an emphasis on the development of novel techniques for radionuclide-based diagnosis and therapy of different tumors. He has published over 325 articles in international peer-reviewed journals and has edited or coedited 25 books covering the diagnostic and therapeutic applications of Nuclear Medicine. He is member of the Editorial B
