Nuclear medicine therapy with 223radium-dichloride for osseous metastases in prostate carcinoma

American Journal of Clinical Oncology Jan 09, 2019

Wale, et al. - In view of the need for a multidisciplinary approach for a successful clinical nuclear therapy program using 223radium (Ra), researchers suggested an implementation strategy and made a brief discussion regarding potential new nuclear radiopharmaceuticals still under investigation offering the future possibility of radioligand therapy. Food and Drug Administration had approved 223Ra in 2013 for the treatment of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer with symptomatic bone metastases without visceral metastases. Due to its alpha-particle emissions, 223Ra offers an improved therapeutic profile resulting in a relatively higher linear energy transfer and lower particle range compared with beta-emitters. Patients receiving 223Ra demonstrate increased overall survival and delayed adverse skeletal events.
