Targeted radionuclide therapy

Targeted radionuclide therapy is a type of cancer treatment that uses radioactive substances to specifically target and destroy cancer cells. This therapy involves attaching a radioactive isotope to a molecule that can find and bind to cancerous tumors. Once the substance reaches the tumor, it releases radiation, which kills the cancer cells while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue. This approach allows for a more precise treatment compared to traditional methods like chemotherapy or radiation therapy, helping to improve effectiveness and reduce side effects for patients with certain types of cancer.
