Abstract
Granulopoietic bone-marrow was scintigraphically imaged in 15 patients with carcinoma of the breast and known skeletal metastases, 10 patients with malignant lymphomas, and 15 controls without suspected malignant disease, with a technetium-99m labelled murine monoclonal IgG1 antibody directed against nonspecific cross-reacting antigen (NCA-95) and carcinoembryonic antigen. Immunoscintigraphy revealed more lesions than did bone scanning in both patient groups. This method offers a sensitive, cost-effective, and easy-to-perform whole body technique for evaluating metastatic spread.Entities:
