This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects and best dose of tin (Sn)-177m-diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA) and how well it works in treating prostate, breast or non-small cell lung cancer that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to the bones (bone metastases). Sn-117m-DTPA was originally tested in tumors that had spread to the bones to help reduce bone pain. The drug has been improved and is designed to send low-level radiation to tumors in the bone while being gentler on the bone marrow, where blood cells are made. Sn-117m-DTPA may be safe and tolerable, and may slow down or shrink tumors in patients with metastatic prostate, breast, or non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to the bones.
