Dual-Receptor-Targeted (DRT) Radiation Nanomedicine Labeled with 177Lu Is More Potent for Killing Human Breast Cancer Cells That Coexpress HER2 and EGFR Than Single-Receptor-Targeted (SRT) Radiation Nanomedicines
Mol Pharm. 2020 Apr 6;17(4):1226-1236. doi: 10.1021/acs.molpharmaceut.9b01259. Epub 2020 Mar 3. ABSTRACT Resistance to HER2-targeted therapies in breast cancer (BC) is associated in some cases with an increased expression of epidermal growth factor receptors (EGFR). We describe a dual-receptor-targeted (DRT)…
