RESUMEN
Resumen Próximo a su 25 aniversario CENTIS reflexiona sobre su quehacer en el contexto de los trastornos que causa la COVID-19. Con ese propósito se examinan el estado de la medicina nuclear y la radiofarmacia antes y durante la epidemia y sus perspectivas de desarrollo. La producción global de radiofármacos continúa siendo una industria consolidada y aunque la pandemia afecta a esta esfera, la presencia de otras enfermedades no cesa, por lo que los servicios de medicina nuclear esenciales y críticos siguen siendo necesarios. Se espera su paulatina reapertura y que se retome con más fuerza la investigación, dado que la COVID-19 es tan compleja y se asocia a tantos factores que constituye, en perspectiva, terreno virgen para las técnicas diagnósticas en medicina nuclear. Ha de permanecer asimismo el papel de los radiofármacos terapéuticos en un grupo importante de enfermedades, en cáncer sobre todo. El Centro de Isótopos pone por ello énfasis tanto en la consolidación, bajo buenas prácticas, de la producción y el suministro de radiofármacos, como en el desarrollo de nuevos productos. Ambos aspectos se basan principalmente en dos radionúclidos Tc-99m e Y-90.
ABSTRACT
Abstract Close to its 25th anniversary, CENTIS evaluates its work in the context of the disorders triggered by COVID-19. For this purpose, the situation of nuclear medicine and radiopharmacy, before and during the epidemic and their current development prospects is examined. The production of radiopharmaceuticals continues to be a consolidated global industry and although the pandemic affects this area, the presence of other diseases does not cease, so essential and critical nuclear medicine services are still needed, therefore its gradual reopening is expected. In addition, research will be taken with more strength, given that COVID-19 is so complex and associated with so many factors that it constitutes virgin terrain in perspective for diagnostic techniques in nuclear medicine. The role of therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals in an important set of diseases, especially cancer, will also remain. As a result, the Isotope Center focus its attention under good management practices, on the consolidation of the production and distribution of radiopharmaceuticals and in the development of new products. Both aspects are mainly based on two radionuclides Tc-99m and Y-90.
