Radioimmunotherapy for solid tumors: spotlight on Glypican-1 as a radioimmunotherapy target

Radioimmunotherapy (i.e., the use of radiolabeled tumor targeting antibodies) is an emerging approach for the diagnosis, therapy, and monitoring of solid tumors. Often using paired agents, each targeting the same tumor molecule, but labelled with an imaging or therapeutic isotope, radioimmunotherapy has achieved promising clinical results in relatively radio-resistant solid tumors such as prostate. Several approaches to optimize therapeutic...
