The results of many clinical trials show the efficiency of Lu-177 treatment:
Increasing the 5-year survival rate by 30%;
Decreasing the risk of recurrence;
Improving the quality of life in 70% of patients.
The investigations in Ac-225 efficacy presented:
Lowering levels of an indicator of prostate cancer PSA in 80% of patients;
Decreasing of 50-80% of metastases;
Increasing the life expectancy.
The studies in Ra-223 showed:
Increasing average survival;
Decreasing risks of death by 30%;
Reducing pain and making the life quality higher.
