Excerpt

There is remarkable interest worldwide on the use of targeted alpha therapy on several cancers such as brain tumors, bladder cancer, neuroendocrine tumors, leukemia, and prostate cancer [1]. This rapidly increasing use of alpha-emitting radionuclides is based on the advantages over other forms of radiation due to the shorter path length and high linear energy transfer (LET) of alpha radiation that also leads to the strongly reduced dependency of a damaging effect on oxygenation [1, 2]. …
