Improved tumour localisation using indium-111 labelled antibodies. 1983

Immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies to carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) were labelled with radioactive indium (111In) or iodine (131I) and a comparison made of their value in locating CEA producing tumours. Eleven patients given 111In-anti-CEA had 31 tumours as judged by a combination of all techniques. Of these, 28 were detected by 111In-anti-CEA and 26 by conventional clinical techniques. Five of the patients also received 131I-anti-CEA. These patients had 15 tumour areas. Thirteen were detected by 111In and eight by 131I. 111In also produced a better signal to noise ratio in the scans and thereby showed lesions with greater certainty. In addition, the 111In isotope continued to accumulate in the tumour areas for considerably longer than 131I. Absorbed doses (whole body) were similar for both isotopes. The results show that antibody scanning is greatly improved by using 111In as the radiolabel in place of 131I and should allow the detection of smaller or deeper lesions.

D007457 Iodine Radioisotopes Unstable isotopes of iodine that decay or disintegrate emitting radiation. I atoms with atomic weights 117-139, except I 127, are radioactive iodine isotopes. Radioisotopes, Iodine
D007553 Isotope Labeling Techniques for labeling a substance with a stable or radioactive isotope. It is not used for articles involving labeled substances unless the methods of labeling are substantively discussed. Tracers that may be labeled include chemical substances, cells, or microorganisms.

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.

D011829 Radiation Dosage The amount of radiation energy that is deposited in a unit mass of material, such as tissues of plants or animal. In RADIOTHERAPY, radiation dosage is expressed in gray units (Gy). In RADIOLOGIC HEALTH, the dosage is expressed by the product of absorbed dose (Gy) and quality factor (a function of linear energy transfer), and is called radiation dose equivalent in sievert units (Sv).

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.
