Abstract
The intravenous application of 89-strontium for the relief of pain in 43 patients with breast cancer, bronchogenic cancer, carcinoma of the prostate, hypernephroma and lymphoma with generalized bone metastases is reported. A remarkable clinical improvement was achieved in 33 (76.7%) patients. In four patients a transient analgesic effect was observed. In six cases no response could be achieved. The therapeutic effect usually was long-lasting. At the same time, an increase of alkaline phosphatase was observed, which was interpreted as an indication for the stimulation of osteoblasts and osteoid peripheral zones owing to β-emission of the radioisotope in the affected areas. There was a significant correlation between the concentration of 85Sr in the bone scan and the therapeutic result of 89Sr-therapy. The indication for such therapy and possible late adverse effects of bone-seeking isotopes are discussed. Bei 43 Patienten mit generalisierten ossären Skeletdestruktionen im Gefolge der soliden Tumoren bzw. Systemerkrankungen wurde nach Erschöpfung der klassischen Therapiemethoden (Radiotherapie, Hormontherapie und Chemotherapie) in palliativer Absicht eine 89-Sr-Therapie vorgenommen. Die endoossale Therapie führte bei 33 Patienten (76%) zu einer langanhaltenden Schmerzremission und bei 4 Patienten wurde ein zeitlich begrenzter Partialeffekt beobachtet. Bei 6 Patienten blieb die 89-Sr-Therapie ohne Erfolg. Die Effektivität der Therapie war weitgehend von der Akkumulation der Aktivität abhängig und weniger vom Typ der Histologie.This publication has 16 references indexed in Scilit:
