Bone tumor–targeted delivery of theranostic 195mPt-bisphosphonate complexes promotes killing of metastatic tumor cells
Platinum-based drugs such as cisplatin are very potent chemotherapeutics, whereas radioactive platinum (195mPt) is a rich source of low-energy Auger electrons, which kills tumor cells by damaging DNA. Auger electrons damage cells over a very short range. Consequently, 195mPt-based radiopharmaceutica...
