Parathormone-potentiated radiophosphorus therapy in prostatic carcinoma

Abstract

To augment the effectiveness of radioactive phosphorus (32P) in the treatment of osseous metastases secondary to prostatic carcinoma, 32 patients were given a preliminary course of parathormone. The sudden withdrawal of the hormone permits maximum absorption of the radiophosphorus in the artificially unsaturated bone. Immediate amelioration occurred in 22 patients. Protracted relief beyond one year was present in 14 cases.
