Abstract:Minimal residual disease in lymphoma patients is a major problem in the clinical management of their cancer. High-dose chemotherapy followed by autologous bone marrow transplantation has been used to treat the disease. However, residual lymphoma may be reintroduced along with the marrow if it is present in the bone marrow harvest. In this report we describe results of experiments testing the efficacy of 5-[125I]-iodo-2'-deoxyuridine (125IdU) for purging murine RAW117 large cell lymphoma cells (Joshi et al., On… Show more
“…A very different application of Auger emitters in cancer therapy was proposed by Schneiderman et al (80), who used 125 IUdR for selective purging of cancer cells from bone marrow. This rationale is that cancer therapy often involves exposure of patients to supralethal chemotherapy.…”

In this review I begin with a brief history of Auger processes, and then present a more detailed review of recent literature reports on physical, molecular, and cellular aspects of Auger emitters, and potential therapeutic applications.
