Reviews
“Radiopharmaceuticals for Therapy is a well-executed book, divided into 5 parts with the primary focus on the use of radioisotopes for the treatment of disease. … Radiopharmaceuticals for Therapy is a comprehensive volume on radiotherapeutics and unquestionably delivers on its promise to be highly useful to the nuclear medicine professional.” (Dao Le, Journal of Nuclear Medicine, Vol. 58 (9), September, 2017)
“This book … extensively analyzes almost all the aspects related to the development and use of radiopharmaceuticals for therapeutic use. … Their publication is tuned to a multidisciplinary audience ranging from students/residents and practitioners involved in the field, including not only physicians specialized in nuclear medicine … also radiochemists, radiopharmacists, physicists, biologists and others. In addition, it is intended for practitionersand/or students, looking for an upgrade in this charming and ever-expanding field of special cancer therapies.” (Gianluca De Matteis and Luigi Mansi, European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, Vol. 44, 2017)
