[Demonstration of the uptake of 35S by chondrosarcomas (author's transl)]

Described are two methods of evaluation of the uptake of 35S by chondrosarcomas, i.e. autoradiography and external monitoring of the Bremsstrahlung. A higher concentration of sulfur in the tumor area of three patients was demonstrated after the injection of aliquots of both diagnostic and therapeutic activities. Apart from the simple handling and the quickly obtained results, the external monitoring of the Bremsstrahlung permits quantitative evaluation of the degree of uptake and a simple control over the progress of therapy.
