Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A composition of microparticles includes a non-radioactive and a radioactive isotope, and an injection vehicle, for use in the intratumoral treatment of cancer, by combined antitumoral effect of radioactivity and intratumoral microparticle deposition. The antitumoral effect provided by the cytotoxicity of radioactivity is enhanced by a modulation of the tumoral immune response induced by microparticle deposition inside the tumor, thereby decreasing the dose of radioactivity required to treat solid tumors. A method of treating solid tumors using a sub-optimal tumor-volume coverage dose of radioactivity combined with intratumoral microparticle deposition as a mean of tumor control is also disclosed.
