Enriched samarium oxide (98.2% 152Sm2O3) was irradiated in low neutron flux and high neutron flux reactors to produce 153Sm with specific activities of 14.3 GBq and 22.1 TBq mmol-1 Sm, respectively, at the time of use. Formulation of 153Sm as [153Sm]EDTA, with a 1:10 molar ratio of SM:EDTA, provided
Samarium-153 emits medium-energy beta particles and an imageable gamma photon with a physical half-life of 46.3 hr. When chelated to ethylenediaminetetramethylenephosphonic acid (EDTMP), it is remarkably stable in vitro and in vivo. In this study, we administered escalating amounts of 153Sm-EDTMP,
OBJECTIVE
Early studies of patients with castration-resistant metastatic prostate cancer (CRMPC) suggest that chemotherapy administered with a dose of a bone-seeking radiopharmaceutical is superior to chemotherapy alone. To build on this strategy and fully integrate a repetitively dosed bone-seeking
The use of samarium-153 in the context of radioimmunotherapy of cancers has been limited by the instability of antibody labelling, which produces high uptake concentrations in liver and bone. This study compares the pharmacokinetics and biodistribution of 153Sm-labelled OC125 monoclonal antibody, in
OBJECTIVE
A Phase III randomized trial was designed to assess the effectiveness of samarium-153 (153Sm)-lexidronam for palliation of bone pain in patients with hormone-refractory prostate cancer.
METHODS
A total of 152 men with hormone-refractory prostate cancer and painful bone metastases were
BACKGROUND
β-emitting bone-seeking radiopharmaceuticals have historically been administered for pain palliation whereas docetaxel prolongs life in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). In combination, these agents simultaneously target the bone stroma and cancer cell
OBJECTIVE
Exposing human tumor cells to sublethal doses of external beam radiation up-regulates expression of tumor antigen and accessory molecules, rendering tumor cells more susceptible to killing by antigen-specific CTLs. This study explored the possibility that exposure to palliative doses of a
Skeletal involvement in metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) is common and results in significant morbidity and mortality. The interaction of prostate cancer with the bone microenvironment contributes to progression of cancer in the bone leading to skeletal-related events (SREs).
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the efficacy of radionuclide palliative therapy (RPT) in women suffering from painful metastatic bone disease (MBD) due to breast cancer (BrCa), and to investigate the possible relationship between the RPT efficacy and cytokines levels.
METHODS
Sixty-three BrCa women patients
Most countries still do not achieve 1 IU of factor VIII/capita sufficient for survival. Although primary prophylaxis prevents synovitis, is not universally used. Chronic synovitis is treated with arthroscopy at expense of considerable amount of coagulation factors, and specialized surgeons.
OBJECTIVE
Cancer pain is the most serious symptom for patients, especially during their terminal phase, when palliative medicine is needed. Our study tried to verify the usefulness of single-shot intravenous administration of Samarium (Sm)-153EDTMP in patients with bone metastases (group-A, N=53,
Principles of therapy are similar for Ewing's sarcoma and osteosarcoma. Chemotherapy or surgery alone cures few patients. Multimodality measures are needed for durable response. Quality of life and function are very important short- and long-term considerations. The spine, sacrum, pelvis, ankle,
BACKGROUND
Oral opioids or other pharmacological or non-pharmacological interventions are often suggested in the management of breakthrough cancer pain (BTcP). The aim of this systematic and critical review was to analyse and critically comment the evidence of any non-fentanyl therapies proposed for
Purpose: Titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) have been investigated for their role as radiosensitisers for radiation therapy. The study aims to increase the efficiency of these NPs by synthesising them with
Osteosarcoma is a cancer characterized by formation of bone by malignant cells. Routine bone scan imaging with Tc-99m-MDP is done at diagnosis to evaluate primary tumor uptake and check for bone metastases. At time of relapse the Tc-99m-MDP bone scan also provides a specific means to assess
