New Nanoparticles Hold Promise for Radiopharmaceuticals Efficiency
2020/10/07

Scientists working together through an IAEA Coordinated Research Project (CRP)  have developed two new nanoparticles that hold promise for a new generation of nanosized radiopharmaceuticals, which could dramatically improve early detection and therapy of various forms of cancers.

 

Radiopharmaceuticals – medical drugs containing radioactive isotopes – have been successfully applied for decades to diagnose and treat cancer, and recent developments in nanomedicine and nanotechnology could make these drugs even more efficient and safer, offering new horizons for cancer therapy.

 

The two new nanocarriers – nanoparticles able to transport substances such as radiopharmaceuticals in a patient’s body to specific tumor sites – are expected to enter the last stages of preclinical studies this year.
