P-32 treatment

[Chris Alston <alstonc@odrge.odr.georgetown.edu>]

> Hi
> We are interested in using colloidal P-32 for the treatment of cyst in the brain. Our plan is to remove fluid from the cyst and instill the radioactive material in the cavity. I wish to know how you determine the amount of radioactive material, i.e., cavity volume or cavity surface vs. activity, etc? Where do we get the materials? Any procedural procautions? Our radiation oncologist is somewhat familiar with the procedure. Please send me your experience and/or information directly to my e-mail address.
> Thanks
