Hi Tom,

The article said hat the venom was tagged with radioactive iodine131.

The venom " homes " to the cancer cells, carrying the isotope there, but

healthy thyroid cells usually trap iodine very efficiently.

 

To prevent thyroid irradiation, patients for the tagged venom Tx are first

loaded with massive doses of normal iodine in the days before Tx, in

order to fool the thyroid into ignoring the iodine131.

 

I agree that the additional survival time due to the Tx seems poor. The

company will probably go ahead nevertheless [to make money].

 

Best regards,
