Summary
Applications of radiations for health is a long story that have started soon after the discovery of radioactivity. Nowadays, radiations are used in oncology (external radiation, targeted therapies, SPECT, PET), neurology and cardiology. Since 2013, a new wave of applications in nuclear medicine has started, focused on therapeutic agent and the so-called theranostics approach [1]. This has resulted in the approval of several new products such as177Lu-DOTATATE for neuroendocrine tumors in 2018 and 177Lu-PSMA for metastatic prostate cancers in 2021. Almost at the same time, alternative ways of dose delivery were investigated in external radiotherapy, the so-called spatial dose fractionation (SFRT) and ultra-high dose-rate (UHDR, “FLASH” effect). All these aspects are at the heart of the research program conducted in Nantes around the ARRONAX facilities and its accelerators.
