Ionizing radiation] exposure in early childhood may be associated with an increased risk of malignancy with neonates at especially higher risk due to their higher radiosensitivity and longer life expectancy than adults,” according to presenter Jeannette Wong-Siegel, MD, of the University of Washington in St. Louis, and colleagues.

This may be due to inhibition of the MEK-MAPK pathway during DNA damage response, resulting in radiosensitization of cancer cells to 177Lu-rhPSMA-10.1. Blue Earth Therapeutics and Blue Earth Diagnostics work closely on the development of 177Lu-rhPSMA-10.1. and an MEK inhibitor.

Not only are children more radiosensitive than adults (the cancer risk per unit dose of ionizing radiation is higher), but children also have a longer expected lifetime, which puts them at greater risk of cancer following radiation exposure.(1) The balance of dose and image quality is even more important in pediatric medical imaging.

Since children are more radiosensitive and prone to the negative repercussions of radiation than adults, technical factors should be modified to limit radiation to ONLY what’s necessary for diagnosis. This will provide a diagnostic image with roughly half the radiation dose but with little degradation of the image quality.
