TL;DR: It is postulate that patients with Dukes' B colon cancer who die of their disease have occult micrometastases in their pericolic lymph nodes at the time of original diagnosis.

TL;DR: In the current review, this work has attempted to comprehensively evaluate the history, technical aspects, and clinical applications of radioguided surgery using gamma detection probe technology.

TL;DR: Improved selection of patients for antigen-positive tumors, the use of higher affinity second-generation antibodies, alternate routes of antibody administration, alternate radionuclides, and more sophisticatedly bioengineered antibodies and antibody combinations should all lead to improvements in radioimmunoguided surgery.

TL;DR: The authors have developed a hand-held gamma-detecting probe (GDP) for intraoperative use that improves the sensitivity of external radioimmunodetection and may influence the short-term morbidity and mortality of surgery for colorectal cancer.

TL;DR: Radioimmunoguidcd surgery with CC49 provides useful, immediate intraoperativc information not available by other techniques, and alters the planned operative procedure.
