2007 ICD-9-CM Procedure 92.28

Injection or instillation of radioisotopes

  • Radiotherapy where cytotoxic radionuclides are linked to antibodies in order to deliver toxins directly to tumor targets. Therapy with targeted radiation rather than antibody-targeted toxins (IMMUNOTOXINS) has the advantage that adjacent tumor cells, which lack the appropriate antigenic determinants, can be destroyed by radiation cross-fire. Radioimmunotherapy is sometimes called targeted radiotherapy, but this latter term can also refer to radionuclides linked to non-immune molecules (see RADIOTHERAPY).
  • Treatment with a radioactive substance that is linked to an antibody so that it will attach to a tumor when injected into the body.
  • Treatment with a radioactive substance that is linked to an antibody that will attach to the tumor when injected into the body.
