  • Title: Cobalt-labeled bleomycin--a new radiopharmaceutical for tumor localization. A comparative clinical evaluation with gallium citrate.
    Author: Poulose KP, Watkins AE, Reba RC, Eckelman WC, Goodyear M.
    Journal: J Nucl Med; 1975 Sep; 16(9):839-41. PubMed ID: 51080.
    Abstract:
    The efficacy of 57Co-labeled bleomycin as a tumor-scanning agent was evaluated in 50 patients with malignant tumor. In terms of sensitivity, labeled bleomycin was found to be a superior agent for malignant tumor detection when compared with 67Ga-citrate (p less than or equal to 0.005). Maximum sensitivity (96%) was found in epidermoid carcinomas. Because of rapid blood clearance and rapid excretion by the kidneys, interpretation of 57Co-bleomycin scans is facilitated.
