Re: In-111 pentetreotide

For more information on what happens to the In-111 in the patient's body
(to get a better handle on the amount in the tumor), you might try posting
this question to DOSE-NET.  It's a list server run by the Radiation
Internal Dose Information Center at the Oak Ridge Institute for Science
and Education.  They primarily deal with the patient dose due to medical
administrations and have a great deal of information on the various forms
of nuclides used.  I'm not sure if they'd have information on doses to the
surgeons, but they might.

 If you're not currently a subscriber, you can do so by sending a mail
message to mailserv@orau.gov containing "subscribe DOSE-NET" in the body
of the message.
