Some radionuclides used in nuclear medicine can emit radiation that kills cancer cells. There are also pharmaceuticals that behave a certain way in the body (like accumulating in the thyroid). By attaching the radionuclides to the pharmaceuticals, we can "spot" treat things like thyroid cancer without giving a big radiation dose to the rest of the body.
