Abstract
Animal models are used and developed to answer basic scientific questions, to study pharmacokinetics, to test therapeutics, and to prepare for translational work. Often, the goal is to cure a malady in our human and animal patients. Cancer therapeutics can involve chemicals, radiation, nanoparticles, antibodies, as well as a gamut of other agents. The focus of this chapter is to review the understanding of radionuclides and their use in cancer therapy and diagnostics.
