Manufacture of Radionuclide

Precursor Nuclide for Radionuclide Lu-177 as Medical Nuclide

Ytterbium-176 is the key raw material for the production of lutetium-177. As a highly efficient beta-particle emitter, lutetium-177 plays a vital role in the precision treatment of tumors. Lutetium-177 is an ideal radioactive medical isotope, and the beta particles it releases can be used in new radioimmunotherapy for diseases such as prostate cancer and breast cancer. It is like a precise “scalpel” that can directly hit the tumor lesions and minimize damage to normal tissues.
