Abstract
Improved methods are provided for using radiolabeled antibodies to tumor cell surface antigens to locate, diagnose and stage tumors having such antigens on their cell surfaces by external photoscanning, whereby significantly increased resolution, convenience and/or efficiency of operation may be achieved. A method is provided for using highly specific radiolabeled antibodies to cell surface antigens for tumor therapy. Radiolabeled antibodies and injectable compositions containing them are provided for use in the method of the invention.
