Merrridith,
This is a very exciting direction not only for diagnosis and treatment as the article says, but I can see it being used in conjuction with the PET as a treatment monitoring program; ie is my chemo working. Delivering a destructive radioactive charge with the small molecule sounds very promising. This is similar to the one study which delivered a cycto-toxin on the back of a virus where only a cancer cell would unstruct the virus to release the toxin. I am convinced that the next 3-5 years will bring cancer therapies to a whole new level!
Thanks for the article,
Al
