Radiotheranostics could be the best solutions for many cancer treatments in some cases, including:
Skin Cancer
How Does it Work?
Radiopharmaceuticals are molecules developed as diagnostic and/or therapeutic agents based on drugs labeled with radioactive atoms and injected as a drug to patients. When these molecules are developed as pairs for diagnosis and therapy in the same disease, they are called radiotheranostic pairs.
• For each pathology, specific ligands can be associated with receptors from the targeted cells
• This Ligand can be converted in a Vector that will carry a radioactive Atom to this target
Precisely target a biological entity that is specific for one tissue, one type of cell or one organ (e.g. a tumor cell).
Depending on the type of emitted Radiation (rays or particles) the Atom (Radionuclide) will act as:
- A Tracer, i.e. an Imaging (diagnosis) agent emitting a signal from the target-bound tissue OR
- A drug, i.e. a therapeutic agent destroying the targeted cells
BENEFITS OF Nuclear medicine
• Destroy cancer cells with minimum damage to healthy tissues
• Potential to reduce the risk of side effects
• May improve the quality of life during and after treatment
• Alternative option for recurrent disease
• Conditions where conventional Radiotherapy has reached its limit
