Claims10
A method for the diagnosis of tumors in a live mammal comprising administering a diagnostic amount of a radiohalogenated pyrimidine nucleoside directly into a cavity containing a tumor affected site, and thereafter imaging the tumor affected site scintigraphically.
A method for the diagnosis of tumors in a live mammal comprising administering a diagnostic amount of 5-[.sup.123 I]iodo-2'-deoxyuridine or 5-[.sup.131 I]iodo-2'-deoxyuridine in a pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle to a tumor affected site by injection into a cavity containing the tumor affected site, and thereafter imaging the tumor affected site scintigraphically.
A method for the treatment of tumors in a live mammal comprising administering an antitumor effective amount of a radiohalogenated pyrimidine nucleoside directly into a cavity containing a tumor affected site.
A method for the treatment of tumors in a live mammal comprising administering an antitumor effective amount of 5-[.sup.123 I]iodo-2'-deoxyuridine or 5-[.sup.125 I]iodo-2'-deoxyuridine in a pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle to a tumor affected site by injection into a cavity containing the tumor affected site, thereafter imaging the tumor affected site scintigraphically.
