From Ben Williams Book: Radiation therapy via monoclonal antibodies introduces a targeted approach to delivering radiation to glioblastoma cells. This method involves attaching radioactive isotopes, such as iodine-131, to monoclonal antibodies that target specific antigens present on tumor cells but not on normal brain cells. The approach aims to maximize the therapeutic impact on the tumor while minimizing exposure and damage to surrounding healthy brain tissue. Duke University has been a pioneer in applying this technique. The major challenges include overcoming the blood-brain barrier and navigating the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. Early clinical trials have shown promising outcomes, with certain patient cohorts experiencing extended median survival times. However, the effectiveness and safety of this treatment are still under active investigation, highlighting the need for ongoing research and clinical trials to fully understand its potential and limitations.Property "Has original text" (as page type) with input value "Radiation therapy via monoclonal antibodies introduces a targeted approach to delivering radiation to glioblastoma cells.
