摘要 |
The present invention broadly relates to the treatment, diagnosis, and prophylactic prevention of cancer disease. More specifically, the present invention relates to methods and compositions for preventing the endocytosis of radiopharmaceutics into cells of the kidney and the subsequent radioinduced damaging of the kidney catabolism by blocking or interfering with the association or binding of radiotherapeutics and/or radiodiagnostics to the receptor megalin, a member of the LDL-receptor family. In another aspect of the present invention, the expression of megalin is altered, in order to prevent the endocytosis and cellular internalisation of radiopharmaceutics into cells of the kidney.
