Preclinical evaluation of MC1R targeted radiopharmaceuticals using the 203/212Pb theranostic pair.

Melanomas are the deadliest form of skin cancer owing to a lack of effective treatment options available for metastatic disease. Melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R) is found overexpressed in the vast majority of melanomas, making this receptor a suitable target for a radiopharmaceutical to specifically deliver diagnostic an...

PSMA Theranostics for Prostate Cancer: Evidence, Pitfalls, and Implementation in Japan.

Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is a Type II transmembrane glycoprotein markedly overexpressed on prostate cancer cells, enabling a single molecular target to support both positron emission tomography (PET) imaging and targeted radionuclide therapy. Over the past decade, PSMA-PET/CT has been incorporated into...

Targeted radioligand therapy in oncology: clinical development across targets and platforms

Radioligand therapy (RLT) has gained increasing prominence as an important therapeutic modality in oncology. By coupling a tumor-targeting ligand with a therapeutic radionuclide, therapeutic targeted RLT enables selective radiation delivery to a malignant site. Clinical validation of prostate-specific membrane antigen...
