Patients treated with high-dose RIT continue to be followedfor the development of late effects. Late bowel toxicityhas not beenassociated with RITas it has been withIP instillation of non~tumor-specificphosphorous-32 (32P)radionuclide therapy. The selection of radionuclides for RIT has been reviewed elsewhere ( 3 1-35). , 5 mCi) allow for study of the biodis~bution of the radiolabele~MAb before therapy and estimation of anticipated absorbed radiation doses in normal tissues and tumors from a therapeutic dose of RIT.
The majority of IP RIT trials have been in ovarian cancer, whereas IV therapy has been performed less frequently (43). In addition to the emphasis on clinical outcome noted in Table 2, dosimetry to tumor and noma1 organs for IP RIT has been characterized as discussed in the next section. Some nontherapy studies also allow for comparison of routes of administration for similar patients or agents. For instance, although most therapy has been performedwithintraperitoneal adminis~ationfor ovariancancer, ~relaparotomy studies allow subsequent biopsies to be analyzed for tumor uptake.
Values have been tabulated for the standard 70-kg reference man (55) as well as for humans ranging fromthe standard reference 55-kg adult female to infants (57). Computer programs have become available for implementing the MIRD system (56). With the advent of programs such asMIRDQSE 3, one may expect more dosimetry estimates for various organs,In previous reports, radiation doses have been reported only to a few large organs that, may have adequate radiolabeled antibody concentration to be detectedin Anger c ~ ~images r a such as the liver and spleen.
