Cancer is a terrible medical illness in which abnormal cells form tumours in the tissues or organs of the body. Cancer cells have a high need for energy, protein (cell structural substrates), and metabolic enzyme activity due to their rapid metabolism. Cancer cells' metabolic functions will be impeded, and their growth will be reduced or even prevented, if the body does not respond adequately to this requirement. Stopping the supply of energy and cell structure substrates, inhibiting enzymic activity, and/or eliminating cancer cells using external agents (such as radiation and/or chemicals) are all methods that can be used to manage the metabolic processes of malignant tumours. These methods have been tested in single and combined modes, but the results have so far fallen short of expectations. In this study, we suggest a cancer treatment technique that involves breaking down the structure of a metal co-factor enzyme and deactivating its catalytic function using a radioisotope rather than a stable metal. With careful selection of the metal radioisotope, this method can execute all of the above-mentioned approaches while also providing much improved cancer therapy efficacy.
