  • Abstract:
  • Systemically administered radiopharmaceuticals are used in radionuclide therapy (RNT), a rapidly expanding cancer treatment technique, to target and kill cancer cells. Although the amount of absorbed radiation supplied to target tissues directly affects the effectiveness and toxicity of RNT, clinical practice has traditionally relied on fixed or empirical dosing regimens. Optimising the therapeutic dose while minimising harm to healthy organs at risk (OAR) is one way that moving towards personalised, dosimetry-guided treatment promises to improve patient outcomes. This review addresses the development of RNT dosimetry, emphasising significant obstacles as well as new developments in imaging, computer techniques, and radiobiological modelling that are opening the door for its broader clinical application.
