Admin Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Kerry. Quite a shock. Lutetium177 is used to treat brain cancers. I got this from a paper on meningioma (a tumor that forms on membranes that cover the brain and spinal cord just inside the skull): It is feasible to label the chelator site with β+ emitting gallium-68 (68Ga) for PET diagnostic purposes or with β− emitting radioisotopes yttrium-90 (90Y) and lutetium-177 (177Lu) for therapeutic purposes. Good luck mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
