Results of a double blind study of 89-strontium therapy of skeletal metastases of prostatic carcinoma

K Buchali et al. Eur J Nucl Med. 1988.

Abstract

Forty-nine patients were treated with either 3 x 75 MBq 89Sr or saline as placebo. Analysis of results 1 to 3 years after therapy revealed the ineffectiveness of 89Sr to relieve pain from metastases. Unexpectedly, a higher survival rate was found after Sr application (46% vs 4% after 2 years). Covariate analysis underlines the effect of 89Sr therapy on life expectation.
