p53-Mediated Radiosensitization of <sup>177</sup>Lu-DOTATATE in Neuroblastoma Tumor Spheroids

p53 is involved in DNA damage response and is an exciting target for radiosensitization in cancer. Targeted radionuclide therapy against somatostatin receptors with <sup>177</sup>Lu-DOTATATE is currently being explored as a treatment for neuroblastoma. The aim of this study was to invest...
