Freeze-dried microspheres for selective intra-arterial radionuclide therapy: an affordable solution

Abstract: Objective Selective intra-arterial radionuclide therapy (SIRT) using radiolabelled microspheres is for the delivery of therapeutic radioisotope to liver cancers and thus, sparing healthy liver. Several radiolabelled microspheres are commercially available. The main issue associated with these microspheres is affordability. Re-188 is a generator produced radionuclide, emits high energy therapeutic beta particle and imageable gamma photons for pre- and post-therapy dosimetry. … Show more

“…3 The quest for appropriate substitutes has led to the exploration of other radionuclides such as 188 Re and 166 Ho. [4][5][6][7][8] The γ-emission (113 KeV, 208 KeV) of 177 Lu allows pretherapy and posttherapy imaging and dosimetry. The long half-life (6.7 days) can be potentially rewarding for high-dose delivery to the tumor.…”

“…SIRT using conventional 90 Y-spheres is an established procedure; however, it has also created an economic barrier associated with high treatment cost 3 . The quest for appropriate substitutes has led to the exploration of other radionuclides such as 188 Re and 166 Ho 4–8 . The γ-emission (113 KeV, 208 KeV) of 177 Lu allows pretherapy and posttherapy imaging and dosimetry.…”
