With rare earths against cancer
Using rare earths to fight cancer European researchers are producing four radionuclides in an accelerator that promise better diagnosis and efficient therapy. Experiments with mice gave promising results. With "tailor-made" radioisotopes, tumors should be combated more efficiently in the future. In a pre-clinical study, a European research group succeeded in determining the effectiveness of radionuclides of the element terbium [...]
