177-Lu labeled peptide for site-specific uPAR-targeting
There is provided a 177-Lu labelled peptide for site-specific targeting of the Urokinase Plasminogen Activator Receptor (uPAR) thereby enabling treatment of a cancer disease associated with high uPAR expression; e.g. treatment of colorectal cancer by administering to a patient an effective amount of the 177-Lu labelled peptide.
