Radioligand Therapy is usually administered through an intravenous (IV) infusion. The treatment is given every 8–12 weeks, with a total of 4 doses/therapies.
What is IV or intravenous infusion?
IV (intravenous) infusion is a method of delivering fluids, medicine, nutrition, or blood directly into the bloodstream through a vein. IV therapy uses a tiny plastic tube (cannula or catheter) inserted into a vein using a needle. Once the needle is removed, the cannula remains in place, allowing connection to a plastic tube that links to the medication container (a bag or syringe of medication, sometimes delivered through a pump).
