The specificity of antibodies for antigens overexpressed or uniquely expressed in tumor cells makes them ideal candidates in the development of bioconjugates for tumor imaging. Molecular imaging can aid clinicians in the diagnosis of gastric tumors and in selecting patients for therapies targeting receptors with a heterogeneous intratumoral or intertumoral expression. Antibodies labeled with an imaging radiometal can be used to detect primary tumors and metastases using whole-body positron emiss ...[more]
