Canadian Radiotheranostics
Leaders’ Summit 2025



The Summit is an annual event held by the Canadian Nuclear Isotope Council (CNIC) and a consortium of academic centers (UHN, LHSC, BC Cancer, and CAMH), in partnership with the Canadian Medical Isotope Ecosystem (CMIE), that aims to bring together leaders from across the isotope supply chain, business and investment leaders, clinicians and patient partners, governments at all levels, students, and more, to shape the future to best serve patients.
In Canada, key partnerships and collaboration have allowed for cutting-edge innovation, new approaches and technology to produce emerging isotopes, and strategies to resolve supply challenges.
Ensuring equal access to radiopharmaceuticals and diagnostic scans, in addition to effectively incorporating radiotheranostics into cancer care, requires transdisciplinary collaboration of radiation oncologists, nuclear medicine physicians and technologists, radiologists, radiation and imaging scientists, along with dedicated infrastructure and a specialized supply chain. While Canada does possess much talent in this space, innovative models of care, infrastructure, and patient partnerships are needed to translate this exciting science into access to care and improved survival from cancer.
Summit Goals and Objectives:
- Explore innovative and collaborative multi-disciplinary models of care with patient partnership towards building capacity and access to radiotheranostics in Canada
- Discuss emerging applications in molecular targeted therapies (beyond NET and Prostate)
- Discuss emerging technological advances in molecular imaging and therapeutics
- Explore how industry, academia, healthcare, and governments can collaborate to develop proactive, actionable solutions to overcome emerging challenges in the Canadian industry and healthcare sector
- Collectively develop a coordinated strategy to secure Canadian isotope supply chains, innovation, and a thriving health care sector
