[The usefulness of monoclonal antibodies in the diagnosis of lung carcinoma].
Monoclonal antibodies detection represented a turning point in field of immunological and biological research. Their application has rapidly extended at immunopathology as well as immunodiagnosis and immunotherapy fields. In oncological field monoclonal antibodies has proved a great usefulness in diagnosis of several districts neoplasm. Monoclonal antibodies are utilized in differential diagnosis of different histologic types of lung cancer; in bone marrow metastasis early detection; and, experimentally, in "in vivo" diagnosis of lung cancer via peripheral blood sample examination. Authors relate about more recent literature about this specific topic.
