Abstract

Following a firm diagnostic and therapeutic schedule for patients with prostatic carcinoma, 89Strontium therapy was introduced for multiple metastases. Positive skeletal scintigraphy with 99mTc-EHDP induced check for affinity to Sr using 85Sr scintigraphy. Of 80 patients, multiple metastases were found in 26. Therapy with 1 mCi of 89Sr-chloride was started in 20 cases. In 8 patients, relief from severe pain appeared shortly afterward, and a further 8 it was possible to prevent the development of pain. Moderate success in 3 cases and a failure to provide relief in 1 were observed.
