Radioimmunoguided Surgery in the Detection and Treatment of Colorectal Cancer

Radioimmunoguided surgery (RIGS) is a technique that has been developed for the intraoperative detection of cancer. In this book, Martin presents an innovative examination of the most significant aspects of the RIGS system. Topics covered include pre-clinical studies in animal models, clinical experience with colorectal cancer, carrier substances, the ability of the RIGS system to identify lymph nodes reacting against microscopic tumours, and treatment strategies that combine RIGS detection of early metastatic disease with adjuvant biologic response modifiers.
