ABSTRACT

Distribution studies in Ehrlich's tumor-bearing mice were performed with ⁶⁷Ga-citrate and ⁵⁷Co-bleomycin. The tumor-to-nontumor ratios for ⁵⁷Co-bleomycin were always superior to those of ⁶⁷Ga-citrate. However, the absolute uptake in tumor of ⁶⁷Ga-citrate was greater than that of ⁵⁷Co-bleomycin. Similar results were obtained in bone, muscle, intestine, and liver. The accumulation of ⁶⁷Ca-citrate and ⁵⁷Co-bleomycin in tumor was greater than in inflammatory lesions.
