Norroy Science Mini-Class: Kidney Cancer

Kidney cancer is the 14th most common cancer worldwide, with clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) being the predominant subtype. Survival depends largely on early diagnosis.Kidney Cancer can be difficult to treat when caught after it spreads. Unlike traditional radiation therapy, radiopharmaceuticals deliver radiation directly to cancer cells. Theranostic radiopharmaceuticals are medicines that help with both diagnosis and treatment. Gallium-68 enables clear PET/CT imaging, while Lutetium-177 delivers targeted radiation — together forming a powerful “see and treat” approach.
