Dr. Munir Ghesani is the Chief Medical Officer of United Theranostics. This company brings together leaders in nuclear medicine, radiology, molecular imaging, radiopharmaceutical therapy, clinical trials, and medical informatics to expand access to advanced cancer care in community practice.

Dr. Munir Ghesani reduces an entire field to two sentences: we see what we treat, and we treat what we see. He explains how a molecule homes to a prostate cancer cell, carries a radioisotope inside it, and then reports its own position back to a scanner. Chemotherapy cannot do that. He also traces the idea to 1940 and names the two things that finally made it work.
