Comparative Study

[(131)I] and [(125)I] metaiodobenzylguanidine therapy in macroscopic and microscopic tumors: a comparative study in SK-N-SH human neuroblastoma and PC12 rat pheochromocytoma xenografts.

[(131)I]Metaiodobenzylguanidine ([(131)I]MIBG) targeted radiotherapy is effective in debulking childhood neuroblastoma. The high-energy beta-emitter [(131)I]MIBG is, however, not very well suited to treat submillimeter tumors. The [(125)I]MIBG emission is more fully absorbed in small target volumes and therefore advocated for treatment of microscopic neuroblastoma. ⋯ Cancer (Radiat. Oncol. Invest.) 90, 312-325 (2000).
