摘　　要：Chinese scientists extract cancer-fighting nuclides from rare earth minerals Chinese researchers have successfully extracted high-purity lead-212 and bismuth-212 nuclides from rare earth minerals,the press center of the University of South China said on December 11,2024.This breakthrough holds significant importance for achieving self-sufficiency in the production of critical medical nuclides in China,according to the research team.These nuclides are known for their potential in targeted alpha-nuclide therapy (TAT),a promising treatment for various cancers,including breast,pancreatic,and prostate cancer,according to the Press Center.However,their supply remains severely limited.The extraction of lead-212 and bismuth-212nuclides from natural thorium is expected to fundamentally address this issue.
