Preferred Label : Holmium Ho 166 Poly(L-Lactic Acid) Microspheres;
NCIt synonyms : Holmium-166 PLA Microspheres;
NCIt definition : Holmium Ho166 containing poly l-lactic acid (PLA) microspheres with potential antineoplastic
actvity. Upon intra-arterial hepatic administration of holmium 166 microspheres, this
agent is able to emit both beta particles direct killing cells and gamma photons for
nuclear imaging. In addition, since holmium 166 is paramagnetic, this agent can be
used for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).;
