Rhenium-188 Stats


Does Rhenium 188 Work?

    Rhenium 188 is still in the process of being test, but it has a strong chance of working. Rhenium 188 emits high energy beta particles, this kills the cancer cell. When anything receives too much energy it gets destroyed. In the diagram above is a leukemia cell. On the top-right shows the beta particles, and on the top-left shows the death receptor increasing which will kill the cell. 

Statistics for Rhenium 188
-61 patients were tested (bone metastases)
   -percentage of people that received relief
  • Lung Cancer- 77%
  • Prostate Cancer- 80%
  • Breast Cancer- 83%
  • Bladder Cancer- 100%
  • Renal Cancer- 50%
  • Rhinopharyngeal- 50%
  • Other Tumor Types- 87%
     Rhenium treatments go by a basic 12 month period. After the first treatment patients have to get treatments every weekly for two months. From months 3-12 the patients have to go monthly. This helped relieve pain from the various cancers.
