Abstract
Methods are provided for short-range intraoperative and endoscopic detection and therapy of tumors using radiolabeled antibodies and, in some cases, techniques for reducing or correcting for non-specific background radiation to improve resolution. Therapy using external radiation and/or laser or mechanical endoscopically introduced tumor removal means can be combined with the detection methods to increase precision of the tumor removal operations.
