Answer / Ashutosh Kumar Pandey

Actinium-225, a radioactive isotope of Actinium, is used in targeted alpha-particle cancer therapy due to its ability to emit high-energy particles that can destroy cancer cells. It is often combined with a peptide or antibody to target specific cancer cell receptors, allowing the radiation to be delivered directly to the tumor site. This targeted approach reduces damage to healthy tissues and improves treatment efficacy.
