Milovan Matović

Prof. Dr Matović has 38 years of work experience as a specialist in nuclear medicine in the field of in-vivo and in-vitro diagnostics and radionuclide therapy of benign thyroid gland diseases and post-therapy clinical monitoring of these patients.

Special interests and achievements are related to radionuclide therapy in the field of nuclear oncology:

• Radioiodine therapy of differentiated thyroid cancers and post-therapy clinical follow-up of patients (17 years of experience).
• Radionuclide therapy of neuroendocrine tumors (PRRT) using 90Y/177Lu-DOTA(TATE/TOC) (15 years of experience). He was the first to introduce this method into clinical practice in Serbia and this part of Europe in 2008.
• Treatment of metastatic prostate cancer (mCRPC) using 177-Lu-PSMA. In 2023, he was the first in Serbia to apply this therapy, as well as 99mTc-PSMA for the diagnosis of these tumors.

Examination by prof. Dr Milovan Matović includes:

• Anamnesis - talking with the patient about current ailments and other illnesses.
• Insight into previous medical documentation.
• Physical examination.
