The emerging combination of chemotherapy and radionuclide therapy has been actively investigated to overcome the limitations of monotherapy and augment therapeutic efficacy. However, it remains a challenge to design a single delivery vehicle that can incorporate chemotherapeutics and radionuclides into a compact structure. Here, a chelator DOTA- or NOTA-modified Evans blue conjugated camptothecin molecule (EB-CPT) nanoprodrug was synthesized, which could self-assemble into nanoparticles due to its inherent amphiphilicity.

Kisspeptin (KISS1) and its cognate receptor (KISS1R) are implicated in the progression of various cancers. A gallium-68 labelled kisspeptin-10 (KP10), the minimal biologically active structure, has potential as a pan-tumour radiopharmaceutical for the detection of cancers. Furthermore, a lutetium-177 labelled KP10 could find therapeutic application in treating oncological diseases.

The treatment regimen for [Lu]Lu-prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) 617 therapy follows that of chemotherapy: 6 administrations of a fixed activity, each separated by 6 wk. Mathematic modeling can be used to test the hypothesis that the current treatment regimen for a radiopharmaceutical modality is suboptimal. A mathematic model was developed to describe tumor growth during [Lu]Lu-PSMA therapy.

Fibroblast activation protein inhibitors (FAPIs) labeled with gallium-68 and lutetium-177 show potential for use in the diagnosis and treatment of various cancers expressing FAP. However, Lu-labeled FAPIs often exhibit short tumor retention time, limiting their therapeutic applications. To improve tumor retention, we synthesized three radiolabeled dimeric FAPIs, [F], [Cu], and [Ga].

The review is devoted to the use of a new class of radiopharmaceuticals (RPs) - chemokine receptor ligands - in oncological practice. The chemokine receptor CXCR4 is of particular interest as a molecular target in the diagnosis and treatment of malignant tumors, as it plays an important role in carcinogenesis. By interacting with the chemokine CCXL12, it activates cell signaling pathways that affect tumor cell proliferation, angiogenesis, metastasis growth, and apoptosis inhibition.
