Radioactively Labeled Nanobody Helps Visualize Macrophages in Tumors

Researchers have developed a novel technique for reducing the radiation dosage to destroy cancerous cells. Radiotherapy is a standard treatment for cancer. Radiotherapists apply varied doses depending on the severity of the tumor. Often, they have to apply very high doses to the whole tumor for effective treatment. This may cause side effects in the patients.
