Abstract
Targeted radionuclide therapy with high-dose radioisotopes should be performed in isolation rooms. Patients can be released only after radioactivity remaining in their bodies becomes less than the limits determined by the release criteria in order to secure public protection. Patients are asked to stay in isolation rooms for a few days. Physicians often face difficulties to carry out therapy in patients with limited activities of daily living and those undergoing hemodialysis, and have to avoid therapy in such cases. The Japanese Society of Nuclear Medicine conducted a nationwide survey in order to find out the actual situation. The survey results should reflect future improvement of therapeutic environment in collaborating with related societies and administrative bodies.
