This study reports the use of radiolabeled antibody to AFP and CEA for the detection and localization of AFP- or CEA-producing tumors. Thirty-one patients received 131I-labeled anti-AFP or anti-CEA antibodies. Photoscans were taken at 24 and 48 hours after injection of radioantibodies. In three of six patients with CEA-producing tumors, radioimmunodetection with anti-CEA antibody showed positive scans. In AFP-producing tumors, 7 of 15 patients had positive findings on immunoscintigraphy using polyclonal anti-AFP antibody, and two of nine patients had positive findings when monoclonal antibodies were used. Analysis of radioantibody in the blood after injection showed both complex and free antibody with immunoreactivity in the circulation, and smaller complexes were seen to form after administration of monoclonal antibodies.

D008099 Liver A large lobed glandular organ in the abdomen of vertebrates that is responsible for detoxification, metabolism, synthesis and storage of various substances. Livers
D008297 Male Males
D009369 Neoplasms New abnormal growth of tissue. Malignant neoplasms show a greater degree of anaplasia and have the properties of invasion and metastasis, compared to benign neoplasms. Benign Neoplasm,Cancer,Malignant Neoplasm,Tumor,Tumors,Benign Neoplasms,Malignancy,Malignant Neoplasms,Neoplasia,Neoplasm,Neoplasms, Benign,Cancers,Malignancies,Neoplasias,Neoplasm, Benign,Neoplasm, Malignant,Neoplasms, Malignant
D011863 Radioimmunoassay Classic quantitative assay for detection of antigen-antibody reactions using a radioactively labeled substance (radioligand) either directly or indirectly to measure the binding of the unlabeled substance to a specific antibody or other receptor system. Non-immunogenic substances (e.g., haptens) can be measured if coupled to larger carrier proteins (e.g., bovine gamma-globulin or human serum albumin) capable of inducing antibody formation. Radioimmunoassays
D011877 Radionuclide Imaging The production of an image obtained by cameras that detect the radioactive emissions of an injected radionuclide as it has distributed differentially throughout tissues in the body. The image obtained from a moving detector is called a scan, while the image obtained from a stationary camera device is called a scintiphotograph.

D002272 Carcinoembryonic Antigen A glycoprotein that is secreted into the luminal surface of the epithelia in the gastrointestinal tract. It is found in the feces and pancreaticobiliary secretions and is used to monitor the response to colon cancer treatment.
