title: Radioimmunoguided surgery using indium-111 capromab pendetide (PROSTASCINT) to diagnose supraclavicular metastasis from prostate cancer.
abstract: A 59-year-old man presented with a Gleason score of 4 + 4 = 8 prostate cancer and with multiple bilateral pelvic nodes involved at open pelvic lymph node dissection. On indium-111 capromab pendetide (ProstaScint) scan, there was increased tracer deposition in the prostate, the mesenteric nodes, the right pulmonary hilum, and the left supraclavicular fossa. The ProstaScint injection was repeated, and the gamma probe was used to localize tissue that accumulated radiotracer. Two nodes were excised, one that exhibited increased uptake and one that did not. The radioactive lymph node contained metastatic prostate cancer. No malignancy was found in the second node.
