This book covers foundational topics in the emerging field of radiopharmaceutical therapy. It is divided into three sections: fundamentals, deeper dives, and special topics. In the first section, the authors examine the field from a bird's-eye view, covering topics including the history of radiopharmaceutical therapy, the radiobiology of radiopharmaceutical therapy, and the radiopharmaceutical chemistry of both metallic and non-metallic radionuclides. The second section provides a more in-depth look at specific radiotherapeutics. Chapters include broader discussions of the different platforms for radiopharmaceutical therapy as well as more focused case studies covering individual radiotherapeutics. The third and final section explores a number of areas for further study, including medical physics, artificial intelligence, in vivo pretargeting, theranostic imaging, and the regulatory review process for radiotherapeutics.
This book is the first of its kind and is useful for a broad audience of scientists, researchers, physicians, and students across a range of fields, including biochemistry, cancer biology, nuclear medicine, radiology, and radiation oncology.

"This is a substantial text extending to more than 550 pages, neatly formatted in the familiar Springer house style and liberally illustrated with photographs and diagrams in both colour and black and white. Individual chapters are sourced from a wide range of authors, in a concerted effort to capture the variation in practice internationally. This is very welcome ... . I would recommend this as a reference text for any nuclear medicine department ... ." (Heather Williams, RAD Magazine, September, 2024)
"There are no other books like this for those who want to learn or update themselves on the state of the art and the future of radiopharmaceutical therapy ... . I very strongly suggest this publication not only to nuclear physicians ... but also to all oncologists and other clinicians interested in the topic and to scientists and students who want to look for an extremely promising field of development for their future research or clinical practice." (Luigi Mansi, European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, Vol. 51 (4), 2024)
