. In 1997, an antibody conjugate with 213Bi (which has a 45-minute half-life, and decays with the emission of an alpha particle) was used to treat patients with leukemia. This isotope has also been tried in targeted alpha therapy (TAT) program to treat a variety of cancers. Bismuth-213 is also found in the decay chain of
