Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Radiochemistry is a rapidly expanding discipline within the field of healthcare. Radioligand therapies have become standard treatments for metastatic prostate cancer. Radiolabeled antibodies have also been demonstrated to possess numerous benefits for therapeutic and diagnostic applications.
The advent of antibody fragments, such as nanobodies, which hold promise for applications in diagnostics, underscores the dynamism of this research domain.
The radionuclides utilized in these processes are diverse. Metal radiochemistry involves technetium, gallium, lutetium, terbium, actinium, radium, and other radionuclides, while organic radiochemistry involves carbon, fluorine, and oxygen, among other elements. Radiochemists’ broad skills offer a wide range of possibilities for improving patient care.
The objective of this Special Issue is to disseminate knowledge and advances in this field.
Dr. Pierre Bohn
Guest Editor
