Lutetium-177 is beta-minus emitter, that is very popular in radionuclidic therapy. CMR supplies with carrier-free Lutetium-177, suitable to the requirements of EP monograph 2798 "Lutetium (¹⁷⁷Lu) solution for radiolabeling".
Intended use Lutetium-177 is employed for the treatment of neuroendocrine tumors with metastases. The therapy involves labeling ligands with the radioactive nuclide ¹⁷⁷Lutetium. The medication is administered intravenously. Additionally, the patient receives a protective agent to reduce radiation exposure. The medication exerts a potent impact on cancer cells with the goal of their destruction. In some cases, complete recovery occurs, but predominantly Lutetium-177 is used to alleviate clinical manifestations of cancer.
