Transforming cancer diagnosis and treatment with cerium/lanthanum-134

Actinium-targeted alpha radiotherapy is a promising approach for treating metastatic cancers, including prostate cancer. This approach requires doctors to obtain images of the radiotherapy agent as it moves to tumors, a process called molecular imaging. Attaching a radioisotope to a chemical compound is called radiolabeling. Conducting a molecular imaging study with a radiolabeled compound allows doctors to plan treatments.
