Abstract
Disclosed is a composition for treating prostate cancer. The composition for treating prostate cancer comprises as an effective ingredient a radioisotope-chitosan complex that includes a therapeutic radioisotope emitting beta radiation and chitosan. Also, the present invention discloses a kit for preparing the composition. When directly administered to a prostate cancer tissue, the radioisotope- chitosan complex is deposited in the applied target site while not leaking from the applied target site, and strongly inhibits the growth of prostate cancer cells while minimizing the side effects of conventional therapies, including urinary incontinence, urethral stricture and rectal bleeding. In addition, the radioisotope-chitosan complex may be used as an effective therapeutic agent for hormone-independent prostate cancer that is resistant to hormone therapy.
