About

Alpha particle therapy is a targeted radionuclide therapy approach that employs alpha-emitting radioisotopes to deliver highly cytotoxic radiation directly to diseased cells. This method is characterized by the high linear energy transfer and short path length of alpha particles, enabling potent, localized energy deposition with minimal irradiation of surrounding healthy tissues, representing a significant area of research in oncology focused on developing precise treatments for various cancers and other conditions.
