    Notes:
    Abstract Radioiodinated monoclonal antibodies (MCA) were administered by the lumbar route into the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of four patients with malignant leptomeningeal disease. Evidence suggesting uptake of131I-MCA by tumour sites was seen in scintigrams. Dosimetry calculations were carried out, assuming that a proportion of the administered radionuclide was bound as a thin layer on the CSF surfaces of the meninges. The percentage injected dose and the clearance curves for the head and four spinal segments were obtained by scintigraphy after administration of tracer amounts of131I-MCA (7–18 MBq). Although radioisotope levels in the central nervous system (CNS) fell, as determined by both external scintillation counting and direct CSF sampling, a marked difference in the measurements developed with respect to time. The ratio of these two measurements reached a maximum of 49:1, 7 days after monoclonal antibody administration. Patients subsequently received therapeutic amounts (870–1600 MBq) of131I-MCAs, resulting in clinical remissions and prolonged survival. The mean absorbed radiation dose was estimated as 3.9 cGy·MBq−1 to the thoraco-lumbar region of the spine and 0.51 cGy·MBq−1 to the outer surface of the brain. The maximal dose delivered to the surface of the CNS in the region of the spine and brain was 5800 and 600 cGy, respectively.
