RLT Components

RADIOLIGAND THERAPY (RLT) is a highly effective approach to very accurately locating cancer cells and effectively killing those same cells by delivery various radioisotopes to a specific target that is located on a type of cancer. Some of the Radioisotopes are diagnostic for locating cancers & some therapeutic to treat the cancers.

There are several Components to a RLT that are simply demonstrated in the truck diagram including:

  1. Cancer Targets
  2. Ligand (demonstrated as the Truck GPS set to find a specific Target)
  3. Diagnostic Radioisotopes (demonstrated as light bulbs that light the cancer Targets on a PET scan)
  4. Therapeutic Radioisotopes (demonstrated as bombs that kill cancer cells that express the target with either Alpha or Beta radiation)
  5. Linker (demonstrated as the hitch keeping the Radioisotope attached to the Ligand)
  6. Chelator (demonstrated as the Trailers which keeps the Radioisotope on Target).

To learn more about the specific components being studied today on clinical trials around the world check out the RLT COMPONENTSTab.

Conferences


High Country Nuclear Medicine Conference

High Country continues to attract and blend experts from academia and industry, with leaders in medical specialties, the regulatory agencies and health care researchers in an informal setting to facilitate dialog and an exchange of ideas. The meeting consists of six to seven hours of structured sessions per day (8 sessions total). In between sessions, roundtable discussions will be held and there are ample opportunities for independent meetings and networking.

PEGS Boston

Radiopharmaceutical therapies are a rapidly advancing approach in medicine that leverages the unique properties of radioactive isotopes to selectively target and treat various diseases, particularly cancers. These targeted therapies have shown promising results in the treatment of a variety of solid tumors and hematological malignancies, including prostate cancer, neuroendocrine tumors, lymphoma, and select forms of leukemia. As the field continues to advance, researchers are exploring new targeting strategies, novel radioisotope applications, and personalized treatment approaches to further improve patient outcomes. We are inviting leading experts to share their case studies and showcase the tremendous potential of radiopharmaceutical therapies to transform patient care.

35th Annual European Pharma Congress

The main theme of the conference is “Discover the Future : The Next Era of Pharma Awaits”.
