Does anyone know about,or have any experience with this program at Loma Linda University Medical Center? Perhaps it uses new technology and treatments or perhaps only existing technology and existing treatments under a new name. I believe that currently the Imaging is done at Loma Linda but the treatments are being done in Germany. Below is a link , I would be curious to hear from anybody that had firsthand experience. Thank you!

It seems strange there have not been any responses. There appears to be a possible “there there” with Theranostics.

I had forgotten I even put this on. You are right no one replied but there have been other discussions regarding the doctor at Loma Linda and pluvicto treatment in general.

If you google Dr. Philip Cohen you should find his talks on this.

Is this is a superior version of PSMA PET scan? Never heard of it

No, it is the use of psma Imaging to determine where metastases might be, and then appropriate therapies thereafter to treat that cancer. Hence the name theranostics which is a combination of Diagnostics and therapy made into one word.
