[Bone-specific therapy with radium-223 dichloride : Castration-resistant prostate cancer with symptomatic bone metastases].
Der Urologe. Ausg. A 2017 January
Radium-223 dichloride (Xofigo®, Alpharadin) is approved for the treatment of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer with symptomatic bone metastases and no known visceral metastases. As a calcium mimetic, it is integrated into osteoplastic bone lesions and emits alpha particles with high energy which leads to local destruction of tumor cells. In the 2013 published ALSYMPCA trial, a significant advantage for overall survival and quality of life in comparison to placebo was found. Recent data suggest an increased potential in combination with next generation hormonal treatment.
