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. Results from this preclinical study presented at AACR demonstrated a synergistic therapeutic effect between 177Lu-rhPSMA-10.1 and an MEK inhibitor.

It also acts as a radiosensitizer that can be combined with transarterial radioembolization (TARE) to treat primary and secondary liver tumors. Capecitabine has been proven effective as adjuvant chemotherapy for resectable biliary tract cancer (BTC).

I anticipate that the benefit of radiopharmaceuticals will be maximized by combining radiopharmaceutical therapies with a vast array of other agents including immunotherapies, chemotherapeutics, radiosensitizers and radioprotectors. This is already showing promise with several ongoing trials of approved and developmental radiopharmaceuticals.

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. These “pieces” are the two epiphyseal plates of the femur. These will fuse later in life and appear more like the adult femur image.

This puts shear stress on the tumor endothelium and activates the production of ceramide, a radiosensitizer. Corinne Wessner from Thomas Jefferson University discusses early study results at UltraCon showing the potential of ultrasound-triggered microbubble destruction in treating liver disease. The average tumor diameter recorded was 4.2
