Targeting alpha-particle emitting radionuclides to combat cancer (TARCC)

Start date: Jan 1, 2008, End date: Jun 30, 2011,

"This project aims at improving drug delivery to cancer cells by developing targeted radiotherapy with alpha-emitting radionuclides. Alpha particles emitted by radionuclides have short tracks (about 100 microns) in body tissues. As a result, they should be most appropriate to treat small-size tumours and isolated cancer cells. This project proposes the development of improved vectors and targeting ...
