NCIt definition : A hydrated nitrate salt of the group IIIa element gallium with potential use in the
treatment of malignancy-associated hypercalcemia. Gallium nitrate localizes preferentially
to areas of bone resorption and remodeling and inhibits osteoclast-mediated resorption
by enhancing hydroxyapatite crystallization and reduction of bone mineral solubility.
This agent also increases calcium and phosphorous deposition into bone and may increase
collagen synthesis. (NCI04);
Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: A drug that lowers blood calcium. Used as treatment for hypercalcemia (too
much calcium in the blood) and for cancer that has spread to the bone (bone metastases).;
