Second Symposium of the European Working Group on the Radiobiology of Molecular Radionuclide Therapy [PDF]
, 2023 Molecular radionuclide therapy is a relatively novel anticancer treatment option using radiolabeled, tumor-specific vectors. On binding of these vectors to cancer cells, radioactive decay induces DNA damage and other effects, leading to cancer cell death.

The Importance of Dosimetry Standardization in Radiobiology
, 2013 Radiation dose is central to much of radiobiological research. Precision and accuracy of dose measurements and reporting of the measurement details should be sufficient to allow the work to be interpreted and repeated and to allow valid comparisons to be
