## 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
57-Co-bleomycin is useful in the detection and staging of lung cancer, but the long half-life of 57Co (270 days) has discouraged its widespread acceptance. We investigated the shorter living positron emitting 55Co (half-life 18.2 h) as a level for bleomycin. In eleven patients with proven lung cance
A total of 128 patients were examined using three tumor localizing agents, 99mTc-citrate, 111In-bleomycin and 67Ga-citrate. All these patients had clinical symptoms of pulmonary disease and chest x-rays. Twenty-two patients were excluded from the original number. From the 106 remaining patients, 14
