Prostate Cancer Drug Alpharadin May Extend Life With Few Side Effects

Radiation has long been used as a treatment for cancer, but Alpharadin is novel because it is so targeted. This means it can kill cancer cells without affecting normal cells, which is the main problem with many other cancer treatments, including chemotherapy -- and as such, it has significantly fewer side effects.

"It only takes a single alpha particle to kill a cell," Parker said in a press release. "Collateral damage is minimized because the particles have such a tiny range -- a few millionths of a meter -- so we can be sure that the damage is being done where it should be, to the metastasis."

Chemotherapy attacks cells that divide quickly: cancer cells, but also cells in the gastrointestinal tract, bone marrow and hair follicles. This causes the common side effects of nausea, vomiting, hair loss, anemia (low red blood cell count) and weakened immune system (low white blood cell count).

Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy involves drug medication which is designed to kill fast growing cells in the body - cancer cells are fast growing and it is this uncontrolled growth which causes tumors to develop. Unfortunately, the medications which are administered are unable to differentiate between cancer cells and other fast growing cells, such as the red blood cells and hair. As a consequence, there are side effects involved in receiving chemotherapy which includes hair loss and other debilitating symptoms.

Many patients do not like the idea of receiving chemotherapy because they have heard of the side effects usually associated with receiving the treatment. Management of the side effects has come a long way and in many instances, patients do not experience them to as great an extent as they originally anticipated.
