NCIt definition : A radiopharmaceutical composed of the dichloride salt of the alpha-emitting isotope
radium Ra 223, with antineoplastic activity. Like calcium, radium targets bone tissue
and preferentially accumulates in osteoblastic lesions, such as those seen in areas
of bone metastases. Radium Ra 223 forms complexes with hydroxyapatite and becomes
incorporated into the bone matrix. The radioisotope Ra 223 kills bone cancer cells
through local emission of high energy alpha particles, causing DNA double-strand breaks
and tumor regression in the skeleton. The short range effects of alpha emission allows
for localized DNA damage with limited toxicity to nearby healthy bone tissue.;
