How Might RLT Affect Me?
Radioligand Therapy (RLT) involves the use of radiation, which can lead to some temporary changes in daily life that should be considered before agreeing to treatment. The duration of these changes will depend on the advice provided by your treatment team. They will adhere to national and local safety guidelines while using their experience and expertise to tailor their recommendations to your specific treatment, safety, personal situation, and needs.
Important Notes:
Pregnancy: RLT is not administered during pregnancy, as it may harm a developing baby. It is crucial to inform your medical team if you are, or suspect you may be, pregnant before starting any treatment. You may be asked to provide a urine sample to check for this before each RLT dose. Additionally, you will be advised to avoid pregnancy during treatment and for up to one year afterwards. Breastfeeding: If you are breastfeeding, you will be advised to discontinue this once you begin treatment, and for a minimum of three months after your last dose.
