Lu-177-Labeled Zirconia Particles for Radiation Synovectomy

Lu-177-Labeled Zirconia Particles for Radiation Synovectomy.

The present article describes the preparation of β-emitter lutetium-177-labeled zirconia colloid and its preliminary physicochemical and biological evaluation of suitability for local radionuclide therapy. The new (177)Lu-labeled therapeutic radiopharmaceutical candidate was based on the synthesis mode of a previously described zirconia nanoparticle system. The size and shape of the developed r...

Dosimetric Evaluation in Radiation Synovectomy

Rheumatoid arthritis can manifest itself through synovitis, of which the knee is the common locale. The treatment using an intra-articular radioisotope injection has been applied in various countries. In this work, the dose of radioactive material absorbed in the joint is evaluated, taking into consideration the dose received in the articular cartilage and adjacencies using a three-dimensional ...

Manual on the proper use of lutetium-177-labeled somatostatin analogue (Lu-177-DOTA-TATE) injectable in radionuclide therapy (2nd ed.)

Here we present the guideline for the treatment of neuroendocrine tumors using Lu-177-DOTA-TATE on the basis of radiation safety aspects in Japan. This guideline was prepared by a study supported by Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare, and approved by Japanese Society of Nuclear Medicine. Lu-177-DOTA-TATE treatment in Japan should be carried out according to this guideline. Although this gu...

Development of a ¹⁷⁷Lu-labeled RGD derivative for targeting angiogenesis.

Abstract Various Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) derivatives have been labeled with various radioisotopes for targeting α(v)β₃ integrin, which is expressed during angiogenesis in tumor. In this study, 2-(4'-isothiocyanatobenzyl)-1,4,7-triazacyclononane-1,4,7-triacetic acid (NOTA-SCN) and its c(RGDyK) conjugate (NOTA-SCN-c(RGDyK)) were labeled with ¹⁷⁷Lu, which is a near ideal radionuclide for treating tumors...
