1. Experimental radioimmunotherapy and effector mechanisms
Abstract : Radioimmunotherapy is becoming important as a new therapeutic strategy for treatment of tumour diseases. Lately monoclonal antibodies tagged with radionuclides have demonstrated encouraging results in treatment of hematological malignancies. The progress in treatment of solid tumours using radioimmunotherapy, however, has been slow. READ MORE

2. Optimizing experimental radioimmunotherapy : investigating the different mechanisms behind radiation induced cell deaths
Abstract : Background. Radiation therapy is an important treatment regimen for malignant disease. Radiation therapy uses ionizing radiation to induce DNA damage in tumor cells in order to kill them. READ MORE

3. Pharmacokinetics and dosimetry in intraperitoneal radioimmunotherapy with 211At
Abstract : The prognosis for patients diagnosed with disseminated cancer is often poor. Radioimmunotherapy (RIT) is a new approach to treat disseminated disease. The aim is to target tumor cells with monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) labeled with radionuclides which release cytotoxic particle radiation upon decay. The radionuclide 211At, with half-life 7.

4. Radioimmunotherapy in Experimental Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma : Tumour-targeting in vitro and in vivo
Abstract : Radioimmunotherapy (RIT) has been shown to be a practicable way to treat head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. A specific antibody recognizes the charasteristic structure of tumour cells when loaded with cytotoxic agents (toxins, drugs, radionuclides, etc). READ MORE

5. Development of targeted alpha therapy with Bi-213 and At-211 for the treatment of disseminated cancer
Abstract : Radioimmunotherapy (RIT) is a type of targeted cancer therapy. The concept behind RIT is to deliver cytotoxic ionizing radiation to tumor cells by attaching radionuclides to tumor-specific antibodies. READ MORE
