Positron emission tomography (PET) using radiolabeled prostate-specific membrane antigen targeting PET-imaging agents has been increasingly used over the past decade for imaging
and directing prostate carcinoma treatment. ...
Following on from the 2015 Lancet Oncology Commission on expanding global access to radiotherapy, Radiotherapy and theranostics: a Lancet Oncology Commission was created to assess the access and availability of radiotherapy ...
Radiopharmaceutical therapy has been widely adopted owing primarily to the
development of novel radiopharmaceuticals. To fully utilize the potential of
these RPTs in the era of precision medicine, therapy must be optimized ...
INTRODUCTION: Nuclear medicine infection imaging is routinely performed with the
use of leukocytes radiolabelled with technetium-99m hexamethylpropyleneamine
oxime ([99mTc]Tc-HMPAO) and single-photon emission computed ...

The actinium-225 (225Ac) radioisotope exhibits highly attractive nuclear properties for
application in radionuclide therapy. However, the 225Ac radionuclide presents multiple daughter
nuclides in its decay chain, which ...
Despite recent advances in multimodality therapy for glioblastoma (GB) incorporating
surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and targeted therapy, the overall prognosis remains poor. One
of the interesting targets for GB ...

Alpha theranostics offer an attractive alternative form of therapy, which has best been investigated and documented with 225Ac-PSMA in patients with prostate cancer. Advantages offered by targeted alpha therapy include ...
Patients with cancer are presumed to be vulnerable to an increased risk of severe acute
respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and severe clinical outcomes due to
the immunocompromised state mediated ...
