Tumor regression of multiple bone metastases from breast cancer after administration of strontium-89 chloride (Metastron)

摘要

We report a case of tumor regression of multiple bone metastases from breast carcinoma after administration of strontium-89 chloride. This case suggests that strontium-89 chloride can not only relieve bone metastases pain not responsive to analgesics, but may also have a tumoricidal effect on bone metastases.
