RE: P-32 treatment

[Rotman Mark <MRotman@snm.org>]

I suggest you walk down the hall and speak with the Nuclear Medicine
Physicians in your facility.  That physician can help you determine the
quantity of P-32 needed. The colloidal P-32 should be available from your
local commercial nuclear pharmacy. Try calling Nycomed-Amersham health care,
in Sacramento, at 916-929-5565, ask for Greig Ogi PharmD, Nuclear
Pharmacist.

<excerpt>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
