Hawzah News Agency –Production of diagnostic and therapeutic radiopharmaceutical is one of the most important parts of the nuclear industry, Eslami said.

Nuclear medicine is one of the main examples of using nuclear energy and knowledge, which, thanks to the efforts of Iranian experts, Iran now does not need any imports in this field, he added.

Pars Isotope Company as the only supplier of diagnostic and therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals ranks 1st in the region in the field of radiopharmaceuticals and nuclear medicine by producing more than fifty types of radiopharmaceutical products, he noted.

Today, over one million patients in Iran use radiopharmaceuticals produced by the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, Eslami said.

What justification can the US sanctions for human rights violations against Iran and its peaceful nuclear program have other than its recklessness and inability in foreign policy?, he asked.

Today, we have taken great strides in the production of radiopharmaceuticals for the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer, and this movement is unstoppable, he stated.

Ga-68-PSMA radiopharmaceuticals for diagnosing metastatic prostate cancer and Lu-177-PSMA radiopharmaceuticals for treating this common cancer in men is produced based on the Iranian experts’ knowledge, he emphasized.
