Targeted radionuclide therapy for bone metastases

V J Lewington. Eur J Nucl Med. 1993 Jan.

Abstract

Recent advances in targeted radiotherapy offer a new approach for the management of metastatic bone pain. This paper will review the scientific basis for radionuclide therapy and will examine the evidence for clinical efficacy. The therapeutic potential of targeted radiotherapy can only be appreciated by comparison with established treatments. Alternative treatment options will, therefore, be discussed, to bring the potential advantages and hazards of targeted radiotherapy into perspective and to define its place in routine management.
