New Tool for Presurgical Detection of Kidney Cancers Helps to Avoid Unnecessary Surgeries
The results of a prospective multicenter phase III study demonstrate that the use of an antibody called 124I-girentuximab with PET/CT imaging can help to distinguish clear cell renal-cell carcinoma, the predominant variant of kidney cancer, from other types of benign or malignant kidney masses.
