Radiolabeled porphyrins are potential tumor avid radiopharmaceuticals because of their impersonation in the human body, ability to complex various radionuclides, water solubility, low toxicity etc. In this work a radiogallium porphyrin complex has been developed. [(67)Ga] labeled 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl) porphyrin ([(67)Ga]-TDMPP) was prepared using freshly prepared [(67)Ga]GaCl3 and 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl) porphyrin (H2TDMPP) for 60 min at 100°C.

Objectives: The role of high-dose therapy and autologous stem-cell transplantation (HDT/ASCT) in the up-front treatment of poor-risk aggressive lymphoma is still unknown. We conducted a prospective multi-centre trial with dose-escalated CHOP (MegaCHOP) and tailored intensification prior to HDT/ASCT according to early response assessed by CT and gallium scan (Ga67S).

Patients And Methods: Eighty-six patients with newly diagnosed and Ga-67 avid aggressive B-cell lymphoma received MegaCHOP for three courses and were evaluated for response by CT and Ga67S.

A 25-year-old woman presented with a disturbance in the opening of her mouth 5 months before admission. On admission, painful swelling of the right preauricular region was revealed. Computed tomography (CT) demonstrated a soft tissue density mass around the right condylar process of the mandible.

The aim of this study was to determine whether gallium (Ga)-67 scintigraphy can monitor the treatment response rates and predict the long-term clinical outcome in patients with lymphoma. Gallium-67 scintigraphy was performed upon admission (baseline Ga) in 33 consecutive, newly diagnosed patients. Twenty-eight patients (Hodgkin's disease, n = 18; non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, n = 13) with Ga avid tumors were included in the study.

Gallium avid breast carcinoma.

Primary breast carcinomas are generally thallium (Tl-201) avid but uncommonly accumulate gallium (GA-67). Therefore, GA-67 scans are not routinely performed in patients with suspected breast cancer. We report a rare case of a primary breast carcinoma with bone marrow metastases where the primary lesion was GA-67 avid but did not accumulate Tl-201.
