How it works
What is Rhenium 188?
Rhenium-188 is an isotope that emits ß-radiation, which has excellent therapeutic advantages. ß-radiation is the emission of ß-particles, which can penetrate the human tissue only up to 2-3 mm deep. Therefore, rhenium-188 is ideal in treating superficial tissue without affecting other parts of the body.
It has a half-life of 17 hours, which means that the radioactivity decays up to the half in 17 hours while emitting ß-radiation. This allows treatments to be performed in a very short period of time.
How does it work?
Rhenium SCT is a non-invasive skin cancer therapy that utilizes the radioisotope Rhenium-188 to treat basal and squamous cell carcinomas. During the treatment, a paste or gel containing Rhenium-188 is applied directly to the cancerous lesion, delivering beta radiation that damages the DNA of the cancer cells and destroys them. This targeted approach minimizes harm to surrounding healthy tissue. Unlike surgery, Rhenium SCT offers a non-surgical alternative for patients seeking skin cancer treatment.
Why Rhenium SCT?
