Brachytherapy Approach Using <sup>177</sup>Lu Conjugated Gold Nanostars and Evaluation of Biodistribution, Tumor Retention, Dosimetry and Therapeutic Efficacy in Head and Neck Tumor Model

Brachytherapy can provide sufficient doses to head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) with minimal damage to nearby normal tissues. In this study, the β<sup>−</sup>-emitter <sup>177</sup>Lu was conjugated to DTPA-polyethylene glycol (PEG) decorated gold nanostars (<s...
