Abstract

: Nuclear medicine therapeutic procedures have considerably expanded over the last few years, and their number is expected to grow exponentially in the future. Internal dosimetry has significantly developed as well, but has not yet been uniformly accepted as a valuable tool for prediction of therapeutic efficacy and toxicity. In this paper, we briefly summarize some of the arguments about the implementation of internal dosimetry in clinical practice. In addition, we provide a few examples of radionuclide anticancer therapies for which internal dosimetry demonstrated a significant impact on treatment optimization and patient outcome.
