A newly developed small-molecular Radiopharmaceutical pair has successfully visualized and treated melanoma in a preclinical study.
“The results of this study highlight the strong potential of using [11C]1 and [211At] as Theranostic agents for the management of GRM-positive tumors.” said Lin Xie, MD, PhD, a senior researcher in the Department of Advanced Nuclear medicine Sciences at the National Institutes for Quantum and Radiological Science and Technology.
