6. 5. The synthesis and analysis of a bombesin analogue for radiotherapy of prostate cancer

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

   Author : Ábel Nagy; [2019]
   Keywords : Prostate cancer; radionuclide therapy; bombesin; gastrin-releasing peptide receptor; albumin binding domain; SPPS; RM26 analogue;

   Abstract : Targeted radionuclide therapy is becoming a widely used cancer treatment strategy. By radiolabeling receptor-specific peptides, cancer cells overexpressing the receptor can be selectively targeted, and the cytotoxic radionuclide can be delivered to the target cell or tissue for therapeutic or diagnostic purposes.
