AREVA Med is an AREVA subsidiary created in 2009 to develop innovative therapies to fight cancer.
Based on an R&D program started in 2005, AREVA Med has been able to develop new processes for producing high-purity lead-212 (212Pb), a rare radioactive isotope. 212Pb is currently at the heart of promising research projects in nuclear medicine to develop new treatments against cancer.
The innovative approach, known as targeted alpha therapy (TAT), recognizes and destroys cancer cells without damaging nearby healthy cells.
