Wang, R. (author), Liu, Huanhuan (author), Antal, Bas (author), Wolterbeek, H.T. (author), Denkova, A.G. (author)The relatively high linear energy transfer of Auger electrons, which can cause clustered DNA damage and hence efficient cell death, makes Auger emitters excellent candidates for attacking metastasized tumors. Moreover, gammas or positrons are usually emitted along with the Auger electrons, providing the possibility of theragnostic...journal article 2024
