Basis, indications and results of the endolymphatic therapy with radionuclides, of the selective therapy with radiophosphorus and radiostrontium and of the intraarticular and endocavitary therapy with radiocolloids are described. Future scientific engagement and intensive basic research in radionuclide therapy is required. However, because of the expected therapeutic profit the efforts seem to be justified.
