Where It All Began: The Heritage of Radioimmunoguided Surgery

  • Chapter
Radioguided Surgery

Abstract

In the mid-1970s, crucial advances in immunology led to widespread fascination with the development of radiolabeled antibodies for immunoscintigraphy of primary or secondary tumors. The availability of these radiolabeled tumor-seeking agents constituted the first step toward radioimmunoguided surgery, as pioneered by Martin et al. (1),(2) in patients with colorectal cancer. This chapter provides an overview of the evolution of the radioimmunoguided surgery system, explains its main technical aspects, and outlines its clinical applications.
