Monte Carlo simulations of dose distributions with necrotic tumor targeted radioimmunotherapy.
Radio-resistant hypoxic tumor cells are significant contributors to the locoregional recurrences and distant metastases that mark failure of radiotherapy. Due to restricted tissue oxygenation, chronically hypoxic tumor cells frequently become necrotic and thus there is often an association between chronically hypoxic and necrotic tumor regions. This simulation study is the first in a series to determine the feasibility of hypoxic cell killing after first targeting adjacent areas of necrosis with either an α- or β-emitting radioimmunoconjugate.
