About Targeted Therapies
Different targets,different treatments.
Radionuclide therapy works by delivering radiation to a specific target, such as a tumour, a bone metastasis or an inflamed joint. The choice of therapy depends on the condition, the target and your overall health.
Tumour-targeted therapies
¹⁷⁷Lu-FAPI and ¹³¹I-MIBG target specific tumour features, and transarterial radioembolisation (TARE) delivers radiation to liver tumours through their blood supply.
Symptom-directed therapies
Bone pain palliation with ⁸⁹Sr or ¹⁵³Sm and radiosynovectomy with ⁹⁰Y help relieve pain in selected patients.
Each therapy is considered only after clinical evaluation, and some are offered under approved institutional protocols.
