Antibody-radioconjugate

An antibody-radioconjugate is a targeted cancer treatment that combines an antibody, which is designed to specifically recognize and attach to cancer cells, with a radioactive substance. Once attached, the radioactive part delivers localized radiation directly to the cancer cells, destroying them while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue. This approach leverages the precision of the antibody to improve treatment effectiveness and reduce side effects compared to traditional radiation therapy. It's a sophisticated method that harnesses both immunology and radiology principles to selectively target and treat cancer.
