                              EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

         On  April  27,  2001,  Cytogen  Corporation  (the  "Company")  filed  a
registration  statement  on Form S-8 (File No.  333-59718)  to register  200,000
shares of the  Company's  Common  Stock,  par value $0.01 per share (the "Common
Stock") for issuance in connection  with the Company's  Retirement  Savings Plan
(the "Savings Plan").

         Pursuant to Item  512(a)(3)  of  Regulation  S-K,  this  Post-Effective
Amendment No. 1 to Form S-8 is being filed in order to  deregister  and withdraw
from  registration  all shares of the Company's  Common Stock and plan interests
remaining  unsold  under  Registration  Statement  No.  333-59718 as of the date
hereof.

         Based on the Company's  review of Section 3(a)(2) of the Securities Act
of 1933,  and the rules and  regulations  promulgated  thereunder,  the  Company
believes  registration  of the Common Stock and plan  interests  relating to the
Savings Plan is no longer necessary.






                                   SIGNATURES

         Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets
all of the  requirements  for  filing  on  Form  S-8 and has  duly  caused  this
Amendment  to the  Registration  Statement  to be  signed  on its  behalf by the
undersigned,  thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Princeton,  State of New
Jersey, on June 28, 2004.
