An Overview of Targeted Alpha Therapy with 225 Actinium and 213 Bismuth

TL;DR: This review describes methods for the production of 225Ac and its daughter nuclide 213Bi and summarizes the current clinical experience with both alpha emitters with particular focus on recent studies of targeted alpha therapy of bladder cancer, brain tu-mors, neuroendocrine tumors and prostate cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Capturing an elusive but critical element: Natural protein enables actinium chemistry.

TL;DR: Actinium-based therapies could revolutionize cancer medicine but remain tantalizing due to the difficulties in studying and limited knowledge of Ac chemistry as discussed by the authors, and current efforts focus on small synthetes.
