Abstract

The skeleton is the most frequent site of metastatic disease in breast cancer. A subset of patients develop bone-dominant disease without metastases to other organs. An attractive strategy is to utilize bone-targeted radiotherapy. This study was designed to determine the safety and preliminary efficacy of 166Ho-DOTMP, which localizes to bone, providing radiation to adjacent marrow and malignant cells. The limiting toxicity is myelosuppression, which can be overcome by autologous stem cell transplantation.
