Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue of Cancers on “Radioligand Therapy in Cancer”. Radioligand therapy in cancer is considered one of the most promising approaches to cancer treatment, through which precise administration of radioligand limits damage to healthy organs and allows for the administration of higher therapeutic doses. In recent years, several radioligands have successfully joined the arsenal for routine treatment of prostate cancer and neuroendocrine tumors. However, several clinical dilemmas still complicate the use of radioligands, including patient selection, dosimetry schemes, and the detailed role of imaging. This Special Issue covers all important topics in radioligand therapy, including dosimetry, patient selection, toxicity assessment and reduction, efficacy assessment and improvement, new therapeutic radioligands, the role of imaging in radioligand therapy, and artificial intelligence and machine learning in radioligand therapy.
Dr. Ahmad Shariftabrizi
