Abstract

In this article, the significance of radioimmunoimaging (RII) as a mornitoring means for gastric colorectal and lung cancer patients was reported. By using I - 131 or Tc - 99m labeled C50 (antiCEA) and 3H11 (anti human gastric cancer), 86 positive lesions were identified in 50 cancer patiens. 77 out of the 86 lesions (89.5%) were true positive, 4 false positive by post - surgecal pathology, biopsy or CT scan. The other 5 remained to be unexplained and needed further follow-up.

In our clinical practice, RII with antitumor McAbs suggested its unique value in the management of cancer patients. Totally, 14 occult lesions in 9 cancer patients missed by the other examination were identified by this technique. And owing to the RII findings, all of these patients got proper treatment in time.
