PET Imaging of Solid Tumors Using 124I-Humanized 3F8: A Pilot Study

Description:

The purpose of this study is to find out how an antibody called Hu3F8 travels through the body and to tumors. Antibodies, like Hu3F8, are proteins that help attack tumors or fight infections. Antibodies can be made by your own body or in a laboratory. The target of an antibody is called an antigen; antibodies fit their antigen like a lock fits a key.
