Video about how radioisotopes destroy tumors (European Cooperation in Science & Technology - COST)

Page 1

COST is the longest-running European framework supporting transnational cooperation among researchers, engineers and scholars across Europe.

Award winner: This movie received the AIPES Press and Media Award 2013! The movie on the astonishing effects of radiopeptides in cancer is freely available for educational purposes to students and patients. It explains the application of radiolabeled peptides for cancer therapy in nuclear medicine. After injection into the body the molecules bind to somatostatin receptors over-expressed on tumor cells, whereas normal cells have a much lower density or no receptors at all. Excellent results are being obtained in patients as also shown on the sans in the video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0YvG_MCXZsw&feature=player_embedded
