Colorectal and gynecological malignancies: comparison of B72.3 monoclonal antibody imaging, CT, and serum tumor antigens.
Noninvasive B72.3 monoclonal antibody imaging provides beneficial information that may influence therapeutic and surgical decisions, and may clarify other clinical, laboratory, and CT scan findings. Intraoperative localization of tumor sites with a hand-held gamma probe holds promise as a further advantage of this technique.
