  • Patent number: 11344638
    Abstract: The invention provides a compound having the following structure: T-DOTA-R, wherein T is a carbohydrate polymer, R is a radioactive isotope, DOTA is a chelator of R, and T is covalently bond to DOTA. In one embodiment, the carbohydrate polymer is hyaluronic acid (HA). The compound or HA is used alone as a polymer or incorporated into a hydrogel for treating body cavity cancer, comprising administering an effective amount of the compound or hydrogel. The invention also provides a method for treating body cavity or soft tissue cancer comprising: introducing into the affected area a thermo reversible gel comprising the compound or HA, allowing the radioactive isotope to emit a therapeutic radiation to affected regions; and, after a predetermined time, optionally removing the gel from the body cavity with a cold rinse to liquefy the gel and allow it to exit the body cavity.
