Dosimetry of 90Y-Ibritumomab Tiuxetan as Consolidation of First Remission in Advanced-Stage Follicular Lymphoma: Results from the International Phase 3 First-Line Indolent Trial
The Journal of Nuclear Medicine, 11/02/09

Delaloye AB et al. – In patients with low or minimal residual tumor burden after first–line chemotherapy of advanced FL, whole–body and bone marrow exposure after 90Y–ibritumomab tiuxetan consolidation showed a significant positive correlation with progression–free survival, whereas dosimetric data could not predict hematologic toxicity.
