Candidate Alpha-emitting Radionuclides for Tumor Vascular Disruption Therapy
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Microspheres loaded with alpha-emitting radionuclides are an alternative to using 90Y to facilitate tumor vascular disruption. Targeting a tumor’s vasculature can be accomplished while minimizing the absorbed dose to healthy tissue by utilizing alpha-emitting radionuclides having limited betagamma emissions.

Tumor vascular disruption using various radiation types
The feasibility of disrupting a tumor's vascular structure with various radiation types and radionuclides is investigated. Calculated absorbed dose profiles for photons and (4)He ions suggest that low-energy beta-gamma and alpha emitting radionuclides can deposit sufficient absorbed dose to disrupt a tumor's vascular structure while minimizing the dose outside the blood vessel. Candidate radion...
متن کاملTargeted alpha anticancer therapies: update and future prospects
Targeted alpha therapy (TAT) is an emerging option for local and systemic cancer treatment. Preclinical research and clinical trials show that alpha-emitting radionuclides can kill targeted cancer cells while sparing normal cells, thus reducing toxicity. (223)RaCl2 (Xofigo(®)) is the first alpha emitting radioisotope to gain registration in the US for palliative therapy of prostate cancer bone ...
متن کاملTargeted cancer therapy with a novel low-dose rate alpha-emitting radioimmunoconjugate.
Alpha-emitting radionuclides are highly cytotoxic and are of considerable interest in the treatment of cancer. A particularly interesting approach is in radioimmunotherapy. However, alpha-emitting antibody conjugates have been difficult to exploit clinically due to the short half-life of the radionuclides, low production capability, or limited source materials. We have developed a novel technol...
متن کاملA Critical Review of Alpha Radionuclide Therapy—How to Deal with Recoiling Daughters?
This review presents an overview of the successes and challenges currently faced in alpha radionuclide therapy. Alpha particles have an advantage in killing tumour cells as compared to beta or gamma radiation due to their short penetration depth and high linear energy transfer (LET). Touching briefly on the clinical successes of radionuclides emitting only one alpha particle, the main focus of ...
متن کاملImproving the delivery of radionuclides for imaging and therapy of cancer using pretargeting methods.
The article reviews the background and current status of pretargeting for cancer imaging and therapy with radionuclides. Pretargeting procedures were introduced approximately 20 years ago as an alternative to directly radiolabeled antibodies. Because they were multistep processes, they were met with resistance but have since progressed to simple and improved procedures that could become the nex...
