Tumor Tissue via Local Beta-Radiation Emission

Molecular classification
Radioactive isotopes, Radiopharmaceuticals
01

Overview

Local beta-radiation emission targets tumor tissues by delivering therapeutic doses of ionizing radiation precisely within malignant growths, minimizing collateral damage. This is achieved through the selection of appropriate radioisotopes, delivery methods (systemic or intratumoral), and molecular targeting strategies that enhance selectivity for tumor cells. The beta particles emitted cause localized DNA damage, leading to cell death.
