β¦ Synopsis
Forty female patients with 15 malignant breast tumours and 25 benign growths, all verified histologically, were studied before surgery using mammography and 111In-Bleomycin scintigraphy. The patient was studied lying prone on a table with an opening so that one breast could hang in front of the gamma camera. The true positive and negative scintigraphy results are slightly poorer (70%) than the mammography results (80%) and there are more false negative scintigraphy interpretations mostly in small lesions.

## Abstract We have found a new ^111^Inβbleomycin complex (BLMC), which has high affinity to tumor, does not bind to transferrin and is stable in vivo. Distribution in animals bearing glioma, hepatoma, or mammary adenocarcinoma at 48 hours showed: the ratios of tumor to blood, brain, heart, lung, l
