Targeting tomoregulin for radioimmunotherapy of prostate cancer.
Radiotherapy is an effective approach for the treatment of local prostate cancer. However, once prostate cancer metastasizes, radiotherapy cannot be used due to the distribution of multiple metastases to lymph nodes and bones. In contrast, radioimmunotherapy should still be efficacious in metastatic prostate cancer as radioisotopes are brought to tumor cells by targeting antibodies. Here we ide...
متن کاملRadioimmunotherapy-based treatment of cancer
The principle of cancer immunotherapy includes various methods of manipulations to influence immune responses against tumors in both humans and animals. This advanced technology of hybridoma production provided the necessary skills to efficiently produce highly specific monoclonal antibodies (mAb). Radioactively-tagged antibodies which are applied in radioimmunotherapy (RIT), can target adjacen...
