Abstract Since 1882, attempts have been made to develop a remedy for cancer. Even today, we still seek out more modern, safe, and effective remedies to potentially find a way to do away with cancer permanently. However, thus far we have only discovered methods to temporarily remove cancer. Although there is a chance you would be cured for good, most people only experience remission, a time when they are free of symptoms. New discoveries have changed cancer treatment for the better. A recently discovered cancer treatment method called targeted alpha particle therapy could potentially become a safe and effective form of cancer treatment. Although it is still in development, its potential is huge. Targeted alpha particle therapy could be a breakthrough that could save many lives.
