- A Possible New Molecule For Diagnosis and Follow Uo of Bladder Cancer: The Radiolabelled Polymer 99mTc-PEI-MPPublication . Tavares-Silva, Edgar; Ferreira, Sara; Abrantes, Ana Margarida; Brito, Ana; Laranjo, Mafalda; Metello, Luís F.; Zeevart, Jan; Louw, Werner; Dormehl, Irene; Botelho, Maria FilomenaIntroduction: The polymer PEI-MP (polyethyleneimine, functionalised with methylphosphonate groups) was initially synthesized for palliative therapy of bone metastases after convenient radiolabelling. However, in biodistribution studies performed with this polymer radiolabelled with different radionuclides, was obvious a higher uptake by the bladder wall, that might demonstrate a certain selectivity to bladder cells, and so, to bladder cancer cells. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of PEI-MP radiolabeled with 99mTc for imaging diagnosis and follow up of bladder cancer.
