Radioisotopes in cancer treatment discussed by Dr Paley
Dr Paley reviews the potential and limits of radioisotopes in cancer therapy. He notes isotopes act like x rays, with selective thyroid targeting possible but often causing collateral cell damage. He highlights iodine, cobalt, yttrium and other isotopes, stressing current value mainly for thyroid conditions rather than cancer, and mentions polycythemia and leukemia uses.
