RIT Worldwide
A Canadian blog reader has asked if RIT is available in her country. The answer is yes. Canadian patients can call the same toll-free numbers for Bexxar and Zevalin that are used in the States, and they'll be directed to centers nearest to them.
I also recently heard from someone in Greece who asked about RIT. I wouldn't have known whether it was available there except that I have a friend who now lives in Ann Arbor but who grew up in Athens where her mother still lives, and the mother has NHL. We found out that RIT is available in Greece.
Additionally, studies on RIT are being conducted at various centers in Europe.
So to our readers living outside the States, I would say the same thing as I would to those living in the States - ask, ask, ask about RIT if you think you are a candidate. And if you are having trouble finding a physician who uses it, don't hesitate to let us know and we will do our best to help.
