According to the statistics of WHO in 2022, China is seeing an annual increase in the number of cancer patients, with 4.82 million diagnosed cases every year. A big need for diagnosis and treatment of tumor stays unmet in the country.
Radiopharmaceuticals have unique advantages in tumor screening, accurate diagnosis and lesion clearance due to their specificity, targeting ability, visualization and non-invasiveness. They have great clinical value in the diagnosis and treatment of neuroendocrine tumors, prostate cancer, lung cancer, thyroid cancer and other malignant tumors, therefore can provide transformative diagnostic and therapeutic solutions to cancer patients.

Leveraging the precision targeting of highly-specific ligands, radioligand therapy achieves the diagnosis and treatment of tumor lesions through nuclear imaging and localized radiation delivered by radioisotopes.
1The dual-action of radiation and targeted therapies: effective physical elimination + precision histologic targeting
