Cancer therapy with radiolabeled antibodies. An overview

Abstract

Considerable progress has been achieved during the last two decades in the use of radiolabeled tumor-selective monoclonal antibodies in the diagnosis and therapy of cancer. The concept of localizing the cytotoxic radionuclide to the cancer cell is an important supplement to conventional forms of radiotherapy. In theory the intimate contract between a radioactive antibody conjugate and a target cell enables the absorbed radiation dose to be concentrated at the site of abnormality with minimal injury to the normal surrounding cells and tissues. A variety of approaches and combinations of this strategy are now being pursued. This synopsis attempts to summarize the theoretical and biological basis for radio-immuno-therapy (RIT), and to review present efforts to further develop this treatment. Some of the critical issues in RIT are highlighted, and novel ways of improving the therapeutic indices of these radiopharmaceuticals are outlined. The attention is focused on the results obtained in clinical trials employing RIT. Encouraging complete response rates have recently been reported in patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma resistant to combination chemotherapy. More modest results have been obtained in patients with solid cancers. Th...Continue Reading

Blood And Marrow Transplantation

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.

B-Cell Lymphoma

B-cell lymphomas include lymphomas that affect B cells. This subtype of cancer accounts for over 80% of non-Hodgkin lymphomas in the US. Here is the latest research.
