- Abstract
Radiopharmaceuticals are drugs that contain radioactive materials called radioisotopes. They may be put into a vein, taken by mouth, or placed in a body cavity. Depending on the drug and how it's given, these materials travel to various parts of the body to treat cancer or relieve its symptoms. They put out radiation, mostly in the form of alpha and beta particles that target the affected areas. They're most often used in small amounts for imaging tests, but larger doses can be used to deliver radiation. The present paper deals with the use of various radio-active isotopes in the treatment of certain Human disease and their associate disorders.
