MIRD Monograph: Radiobiology and Dosimetry for Radiopharmaceutical Therapy with Alpha-Particle Emitters
Editor:
George Sgouros, PhD
The potential of alpha-particle emitters to treat cancer has been recognized since the early 1900s. The success and recent FDA approval of an alpha-emitter–based radiopharmaceutical for prostate cancer patients has led to renewed interest in the use of alpha-particle emitters in humans for targeted therapy. Because of the... Details
