| The stability in a biological environment of an injectable cement with oncotherapeutic potential - consisting of a glass powder of SiO 2 (35.6%), CaO (42.4%), P
2O
5 (17%), Na
2O (5%) and 30% of its weight of Fe
3O
4 dissolved in (NH

2HPO
4 plus NH
4H
2PO
4 - was evaluated referring to the release of silicon and iron. The experimental model was the rat, and organs (liver, kidney, spleen, lung, heart, and brain) of the implanted and control animals were collected for quantification of these elements by electrothermal atomization atomic absorption spectrometry methods. In most of the analysed organs no significant difference in the contents of silicon and iron between the implanted and the control animals was found.
