Several presenters at the Society for Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging's (SNMMI) 2024 meeting in Toronto shared new findings in women's studies. Twenty of the 26 scans from patients with active tumors were NeoB-positive, six NeoB-negative. Women's theranostics appears to already be on the horizon.
