NCI Thesaurus | phosphorus P32

A radioactive isotope of phosphorus with beta particle-emitting radiocytotoxic activity. Emitted by phosphorus-32, beta particles directly damage cellular DNA and, by ionizing intracellular water to produce several types of cytotoxic free radicals and superoxides, indirectly damage intracellular biological macromolecules, resulting in tumor cell death.
