Abstract
A method for detection and localization of tissues having estrogen receptors during surgery is disclosed. The method involves administering an effective amount of an estradiol derivative labeled with a radionuclide to a patient and then delaying surgery for a time interval for permitting the labeled estradiol derivative to localize in the tissue. Thereafter, an operative field of the animal is surgically accessed an the tissue within the operative filed examined with a probe to detect photon emission from the labeled estradiol derivative.
