In silico assessment of cellular damage from Lu‐177, Ac‐225, and Pb‐212 therapeutic radionuclides
Medical Physics, Volume 52, Issue 11, November 2025.Abstract Background Targeted radionuclide therapy (TRT) has emerged as a unique and effective treatment modality for cancer. Monte Carlo simulations have greatly advanced investigations into radiation‐caused DNA damage, including the complexity of this damage.

A Supramolecular Approach for Liver Radioembolization
Theranostics, 2018 Hepatic radioembolization therapies can suffer from discrepancies between diagnostic planning (scout-scan) and the therapeutic delivery itself, resulting in unwanted side-effects such as pulmonary shunting. We reasoned that a nanotechnology-based pre-targeting strategy could help overcome this shortcoming by directly linking pre-interventional ...

Current status of transarterial radioembolization
World Journal of Radiology, 2016 Unresectable primary and secondary liver malignancies present a major problem in the treatment of solid tumors. Transarterial radioembolization (TARE) is an increasingly used technique for treating various types of malignant liver tumors. This approach is appealing, as the mechanism of action is independent from other loco-regional treatments and ...
