[The detection of metastases of ovarian carcinoma by immunoscintigraphy with monoclonal antibodies].

Sixty eight women, operated for ovarian carcinoma, were studied by monoclonal antibodies anti-CA-125 labeled with 131I. 99m-Tc was used for the scintigraphy. Ninety-one metastases were discovered as 73 of them were established surgically. 52/61 were confirmed in the pelvis, 19/24 in the abdominal cavity and 3/6 in the liver. Higher precision of immunoscintigraphy was found in the diagnosis of liver metastasis, when it was compared with echographic and computed tomographic examinations.
