Excerpt

Radionuclide therapy (RNT), also known as “targeted”, “metabolic” or “molecular” radiotherapy, uses open (i.e. “unsealed”) radioactive isotopes, and is generally administered orally or intravenously, enabling delivery of a high radiation dose to the target, while minimizing toxicity to normal tissues. This systemic form of radiation therapy has distinct similarities to, but also profound differences from, the more commonly used external beam radiotherapy (EBRT). From another perspective, RNT can be better characterized as a tumour-selective treatment modality with more similarities to systemic chemotherapy [1]. …
