Current status of, and occurrence by site of osteosarcoma in beagles injected with radium-226

Description

A total of 76 osteosarcomas occurred in 58 beagles injected with radium-226. There were 15 sites examined for incidence with no obvious trends noted. The sites of the R2 (0.35 μCi 226Ra/kg injected) osteosarcomas were distal femur, proximal femur, ischium, hard palate, and proximal humerus. The R1.7 (0.16 μCi 226Ra/kg) osteosarcoma site was the cribriform plate. The osteosarcoma latent period became longer as the dosage of Ra-226 was decreased
