Targeted alpha-particle therapy

Targeted alpha-particle therapy (TAT) is a form of radiation therapy that uses alpha particles—highly energetic but short-range radiation—to treat cancer. TAT is designed to deliver a precise dose of radiation directly to tumor cells while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue. Here's a brief overview of how it works and its applications: ### Mechanism 1. **Targeting Agents**: TAT involves the use of radioactive isotopes that emit alpha particles.
