Radiopharmaceutical therapy (RPT) is emerging as a safe and effective targeted approach to treating many types of cancer. In RPT, radiation is systemically or locally delivered using pharmaceuticals that either bind preferentially to cancer cells or accumulate by physiological mechanisms. Almost all radionuclides used in RPT emit photons that can be imaged, enabling non-invasive visualization of the biodistribution of the therapeutic agent. Compared with almost all other systemic cancer treatment options, RPT has shown efficacy with minimal toxicity. With the recent FDA approval of several RPT agents, the remarkable potential of this treatment is now being recognized. This Review covers the fundamental properties, clinical development and associated challenges of RPT.
放射性药物治疗(RPT)作为一种安全有效的针对多种癌症的靶向治疗方法正在兴起。在 RPT 中,放射性药物通过全身或局部给药,这些药物要么优先与癌细胞结合,要么通过生理机制积累。几乎所有用于 RPT 的放射性核素都发射光子,这些光子可以成像,从而能够无创可视化治疗剂的生物分布。与几乎所有其他全身癌症治疗选择相比,RPT 显示出最小毒性的疗效。随着最近 FDA 批准了几种 RPT 药物,这种治疗方法的显著潜力现在正在被认识到。本综述涵盖了 RPT 的基本特性、临床开发和相关挑战。
