Nuclear Therapy
Advantages of Nuclear Therapy:
- Very specific target binding of the pharmaceuticals
- Delivering large doses of radiation to the target tissue
- Very minimal radiation to the normal tissues
- Very minimal side-effect profile
- Significant improvement in quality of life and survival of patients
