Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) presents problems for urologists in diagnosis, treatment selection, intraoperative surgical margin analysis, and long term monitoring. In this paper we describe the development of a radiolabeled antibody specific to ccRCC (124I-cG250) and its potential to help urologists manage each of these problems. We believe 124I-cG250, in conjunction with perioperative Positron emission tomography/computed tomography imaging and intraoperative handheld gamma probe use, has the potential to diagnose ccRCC, aid in determining a proper course of treatment (operative or otherwise), confirm complete resection of malignant tissue in real time, and monitor patients post-operatively.
