Systemic Targeted Alpha Radiotherapy for Cancer
Background: The fundamental principles of internal targeted alpha therapy for cancer were established many decades ago.The high linear energy transfer (LET) of alpha radiation to the targeted cancer cellscauses double strand breaks in DNA. At the same time, the short range radiation spares adjacent normal tissues. This targeted approach complements conventional external beam radiotherapy and ch...
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 کاملFunctional characterization of an endosome-disruptive peptide and its application in cytosolic delivery of immunoliposome-entrapped proteins.
Antibody-directed liposomes (immunoliposomes) are frequently used for targeted drug delivery. However, delivery of large biotherapeutic molecules (i.e. peptides, proteins, or nucleic acids) with immunoliposomes is often hampered by an inefficient cytosolic release of entrapped macromolecules after target cell binding and subsequent endocytosis of immunoliposomes. To enhance cytosolic drug deliv...
متن کاملشبیه سازی یک آشکارساز تناسبی میکرو نواری برای آشکارسازی گاز رادن و دختران با کد مونت کارلو (MCNPX)
Many detection methods have been applied to detect radon gas. Due to the low noise and high resolution of gas detectors compared to semiconductor detectors or scintillation detectors, using them to detect alpha radiation is very considerable. Microstrip proportional detector is also included in this group and it has not been used for the detection of radon. In this article, response of the micr...
متن کاملNanotechnology application in cancer treatment
Chemotherapy has been the main known treatment for cancer diseases. However, its achievement rate remains low, mainly because of the restricted accessibility of drugs to the tumor tissue, their painful toxicity, and development of multi-drug resistance. In recent years, either better understanding of tumor biology or development of the ever-growing field of nanotechnology has proposed new treat...
