“…Therapy has been suggested/performed in animals and patients using SS analogues labelled with various radionuclides, e.g. the Auger and conversion electron emitters 111 In and 103m Rh (low electron energy) [46,72], the β-emitters 177 Lu, 153 Sm, and 161 Tb (medium electron energy) [23,24,26,42,44,51,73,74,75] and 90 Y, and 188 Re (high electron energy) [76,77,78] and the α-particle emitters 225 Ac, 211 At and 213 Bi [66,67,68,79]. For radionuclides with a higher electron energy and thus longer range, the absorbed fraction/dose in small tumours will be lower than in larger tumours and tissue surrounding the tumours will be more highly exposed.…”
