NCIt definition : A radioconjugate composed of the chelating agent and bone seeking agent diethylenetriaminepentaacetic
acid (DTPA) complexed to the radionuclide tin (Sn) 117m (stannic, 4 ), with potential
use as a palliative agent for bone pain from bony metastases. Upon administration
of Sn-117m-DTPA, the DTPA localizes to bones, thereby leading to the accumulation
of the radioactive agent in bone. The radiation may destroy tumor cells in bone metastasis
and may alleviate the pain.;
Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: A radioactive chemical being studied to treat bone pain associated with
cancer.;
