New Radionuclides in Pain Palliation
Journal Title: Nuclear Medicine Seminars - Year 2020, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Skeletal system is the most common metastasis site in patients with advanced cancer. Pain is an important health problem in patients with bone metastasis. Bone seeking radionuclides to treat bone pain due to bone metastasis in patients with advanced stage cancer can be used in selected group of cancer patients. In this review, evaluating patients who might be candidates for radionuclide treatment of bone metastases using beta-emitting radionuclides such as strontium-89, samarium-153 lexidronam, phosphor-32 sodium phosphate, Lutetium-177 ethylenediaminetetramethylene phosphonic acid and alfa-emmiting Radium-223, performing the treatments; and understanding and evaluating the treatment outcome and side effects.
