Solid‐tumor radionuclide therapy dosimetry: New paradigms in view of tumor microenvironment and angiogenesis

Abstract

The objective of this study is to evaluate requirements for radionuclide‐based solid tumor therapy by assessing the radial dose distribution of beta‐particle‐emitting and alpha‐particle‐emitting molecules localized either solely within endothelial cells of tumor vasculature or diffusing from the vasculature throughout the adjacent viable tumor cells.
