Radiopharmaceutical Therapy

This book will cover foundational topics in the emerging field of radiopharmaceutical therapy. It  is divided into three sections: fundamentals, deeper dives, and special topics. In the first section, the authors will examine the field from a bird's-eye view, covering topics including the history of radiopharmaceutical therapy, the radiobiology of radiopharmaceutical therapy, and the radiopharmaceutical chemistry of both metallic and non-metallic radionuclides. The second section will provide a more in-depth look at specific radiotherapeutics. Chapters will include broader discussions of the different platforms for radiopharmaceutical therapy as well as more focused case studies covering individual radiotherapeutics. The third and final section will explore a number of areas for further study, including medical physics, artificial intelligence, in vivo pretargeting, theranostic imaging, and the regulatory review process for radiotherapeutics.This book ¾ the first of its kind ¾ will be useful for a broad audience of scientists, researchers, physicians, and students across a range of fields, including biochemistry, cancer biology, nuclear medicine, radiology, and radiation oncology.
