Dr. Saul Hertz was Director of The Massachusetts General Hospital's Thyroid Unit, when he heard about the development of artificial radioactivity. He conceived and brought from bench to bedside the successful use of radioiodine (RAI) to diagnose and treat thyroid diseases. Thus was born the science of theragnostics used today for neuroendorine tumors and prostate cancer. Dr. Hertz's work set the foundation of targeted precision medicine.
索尔·赫兹博士曾任马萨诸塞州总医院甲状腺科主任,当时他听闻了人工放射性的进展。他构思并将放射性碘(RAI)成功用于甲状腺疾病的诊断和治疗,从实验室带到了临床。于是,如今用于神经内分泌肿瘤和前列腺癌的治疗诊断学便诞生了。赫兹博士的工作奠定了精准靶向医学的基础。
