Welcome interest of other health professionals
I am pleased to find that non-physician health professionals are showing an increasing interest in radioimmunotherapy (RIT). Nurses, physical therapists and nurses, who play a most important role in health care, are having educational programs on the subject of RIT.
To me, this is most welcome news. These health care providers ( I do not like this awkward term) have frequent, close contact with lymphoma patients and are in a position to gently ask whether the patient is aware of RIT as a possible treatment.
Thus, these valuable workers can educate the lymphoma patient about RIT and the advisability of getting a medical opinion from a physician who is experienced in RIT, namely, a radiation oncologist or nuclear medicine physician.
