Safety and efficacy of radium-223 dichloride in Japanese patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer and bone metastases

摘要

Radiation therapy with radium-223 dichloride improves overall survival, reduces symptomatic skeletal events in Caucasian patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) and bone metastases, and is well tolerated. We report here the results of the first efficacy and safety study of radium-223 dichloride in a Japanese population.
