Tumor Tissue (via Localized Beta Radiation)

Tumor tissue targeted via localized beta radiation refers to the use of radioactive substances that emit beta particles to selectively irradiate and destroy cancer cells within a tumor. This approach is a form of targeted radiotherapy, often called radiopharmaceutical therapy or molecular radiotherapy. It leverages both the physical properties of radioisotopes and biological targeting strategies to maximize anti-tumor efficacy while minimizing off-target toxicity.
