Monte Carlo Calculation of Radioimmunotherapy with 90Y-, 177Lu-, 131I-, 124I-, and 188Re-Nanoobjects: Choice of the Best Radionuclide for Solid Tumour Treatment by Using TCP and NTCP Concepts

Table 4

Comparison of the total absorbed dose (), absorbed doses in the centre (), and absorbed doses at the surface () or surrounding the tumour (), in Gy, when 90Y, 177Lu, 131I, 124I, and 188Re are separately linked to antibodies distributed uniformly, linearly, and exponentially inside a 1.0 cm radius spherical tumour. Two different biological half-lives of 2 and 6 days are considered here.
