After the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident, managing environmental radionuclide contamination efficiently has become incredibly important. In light of this, a team of scientists have provided ...

MADRID -- Radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) doubled when patients received a radionuclide ligand targeting prostate-specific ...

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men and at later stages of the disease many patients develop painful bone metastases. One promising modality for management of skeletal metastases is ...

If you can get rid of circulating tumor cells and tumor cell clusters that detach from a tumor, spreading the disease in the body, cancer is less likely to return. This is the hope behind a ...

ORLANDO -- An investigational radionuclide therapy targeting prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) achieved biochemical responses in 70% of patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC ...

Transaxial slices of baseline positron emission tomography (PET) and fused PET/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI; left) demonstrate a somatostatin receptor-expressing meningioma in the left cavernous ...

Pancreatic malignancies, the fourth leading cause of cancer deaths, have an aggressive behavior with poor prognosis, resulting in a 5-year survival rate of only 4%. It is typically a silent malignancy ...

Radionuclide metrology and beta decay studies represent a cornerstone of modern nuclear science, merging refined measurement techniques with advanced theoretical modelling to quantify radioactivity ...

γ-emitting isotopes are selected for diagnosis because the radiation they produce can be detected by specific instruments such as positron emission tomography (PET) or single-photon emission computed ...
