« Radioimmunotherapy: proven effectiveness | Main | Non-traditional treatment of lymphoma »

Is RIT right for you?

Several readers have shared their diagnoses and asked if they are candidates for radioimmunotherapy. I wish I could answer them, but I am not a doctor. The best advice I can give is to seek out a physician who is experienced in the treatment of lymphoma and who utilizes RIT - and then discuss your specific situation with him or her.

As I mentioned earlier, "oncologists" treat all sorts of cancers whereas "hematologist/oncologists" treat the blood cancers specifically, and I imagine that they would be most likely to be "up" on the most advanced and most effective therapies for their own specialty.

Personally, if I were told by a single doctor that I was not a candidate for radioimmunotherapy, I would seek another opinion.
