The thymidine analog, 5-iodo-2'-deoxyuridine (IUdR), is incorporated in the DNA of cells in the S phase. When incorporated into DNA, short-range Auger electrons emitted by 125I-labeled IUdR can cause double-strand breaks, delivering a lethal radiation dose to the cell. We conducted therapeutic trial to evaluate[125I/131I]IUdR pharmacokinetics in liver metastases from colorectal cancer. Dosimetry, safety, and therapeutic potential were assessed.
