Target note

Full name
Remodelling bone (hydroxyapatite) — not a molecular target of the tumor cell
Nature
The radionuclide binds to the mineral matrix where osteoblastic activity is intense.
Normal expression
Normal skeleton, with higher uptake in remodelling areas.
Disease expression
Osteoblastic metastases (prostate, breast); less suited to osteolytic lesions.
Value
Treats the tumor bone microenvironment and pain; only ²²³Ra has shown a survival benefit (ALSYMPCA).
Approaches
Bone-seeking ions or complexes: ²²³Ra (calcium mimetic), ¹⁵³Sm-EDTMP, labeled bisphosphonates (¹⁷⁷Lu-DOTAZOL).
Indications explored
Castration-resistant prostate cancer with symptomatic bone metastases and no visceral disease; combination trials (enzalutamide, docetaxel, olaparib).
Points of caution
Myelotoxicity. In Europe, ²²³Ra is contraindicated with abiraterone (excess fractures and deaths in ERA 223) and reserved for use after at least two lines.
