Loma Linda University Health shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Loma Linda University Cancer Center is the only facility in the region to offer theranostics.
When a patient walks into our Cancer Center, they may leave with more than a diagnosis – they could walk out with a personalized treatment plan already underway, thanks to this new cutting-edge approach.

Shorter treatment times and milder side effects.
