Description
Represents a comprehensive amalgamation of the radiation physics, chemistry, radiobiology, tumor models, and clinical data for targeted radionuclide therapy.

Radioimmunotherapy, also known as systemic targeted radiation therapy, uses antibodies, antibody fragments, or compounds as carriers to guide radiation to the targets. It is a topic rapidly increasing in importance and success in treatment of cancer patients. This text outlines the current challenges and provides a glimpse at future directions. With significant advances in cell biology and molecular engineering, many targeting constructs are now available that will safely deliver these highly cytotoxic radionuclides in a targeted fashion.
  • First book to cover this innovative new therapeutic field in oncology
  • Over one-third of the book is devoted to site-specific therapy information useful to the medical oncologist as well as radiation oncologist
  • The ideal blend of basic and clinical science for use by clinicians, residents, and researchers
