Description

Preliminary studies of radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies show great promise for tumor localization in humans. The authors discuss how studies of antibody pharmacokinetics, application of better labels, and in particular the identification of tumor-specific antigens should help to realize the potential of these magic bullets for cancer diagnosis and treatment
