This research shows a promising theranostic agent for bone metastases, suggesting it may improve nuclear medicine imaging outcomes.

[nat/67Ga]6 demonstrated effective bone targeting and high uptake, supporting its use in treating bone metastases.
Boron neutron capture therapy utilizes 10B, leading to high linear energy transfer and therapeutic effects.
The compound integrates BNCT and nuclear imaging, indicating a novel approach for bone metastases treatment.
Biodistribution studies in normal mice show comparable effectiveness and minimal off-target accumulation with [nat/67Ga]6.

Tamamura et al. (2025) studied this question.
