Abstract
A hand-held probe has been used to localise the 131I-labelled antibody OC125 during second-look operation (SLO) in 22 ovarian cancer patients. In six patients microscopic cancer was detected with the procedure and a further six patients with areas of increased radioactivity during SLO developed recurrent disease within 1-4 months. We suggest examining resection guided by antibodies as a possible means of removing antigen-producing cancerous tissues during surgery.Entities:
