✦ Synopsis
Organ distribution and tumor uptake of 57Co-bleomycin (BLM) were examined in NMRI mice without tumor and with chemically (DMBA-) induced squamous cell carcinoma. In these tumors high accumulation of 57Co-BLM was recorded shortly after injection of 57Co-BLM and low uptake 24--48 h after application. Two groups of tumor-bearing mice received unlabeled bleomycin as a cytostatic in two different doses. Uptake of 57Co-bleomycin was reduced. The study suggests that in patients currently or previously under chemotherapy, 57Co-bleomycin tumor scintigraphy may lead to false negative results.
