Background:

Radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies (MoAb) recognize tumor-specific antigens.
Clinical utility for cancer localization is increasingly documented.

Purpose of the Study:

Review basic and practical aspects of radioimmunodetection in oncology.
Provide a status report on radiolabeled antibody procedures for solid tumors.

Main Methods:

Focus on radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies (MoAb).
Review current clinical applications and limitations.

Main Results:

Radioimmunodetection methods are clinically validated for colorectal, ovarian, breast, lung, thyroid medullary, head and neck cancers, and melanoma.
Advances in MoAb humanization enhance prospects for antibody-guided radiotherapy.

Conclusions:

Radiolabeled MoAb are valuable tools for cancer detection.
Future developments promise improved antibody-guided cancer therapies.
