A new radiopharmaceutical, indium‐111 labeled bleomycin (IB), was evaluated as a tumor‐imaging agent in 55 patients with lymphoma. Overall disease activity was correctly identified in 79% of 75 whole‐body scans obtained 48 hours after intravenous administration of IB. Serial scans in 19 patients accurately reflected changes in their disease status. Lymphatic and soft tissue sites of involvement both above and below the diaphragm were most readily identified by scanning. Bone marrow and hepatic involvements were more difficult to detect because of normal tissue background in the considered organs. Five patients manifested diffuse pulmonary uptake of IB and only in one case was it explained.To determine the accuracy of scanning with IB, we evaluated 731 individual sites of potential tumor involvement with these results: true positives 90%, false negatives 10%, false positives 4%, and true negatives 96%. Thus, tumor scanning with indium‐111 bleomycin is an important new technique for the initial staging and serial evaluation of patients with lymphoma.
