The detection of struma ovarii in two patients by radioimmunoscintigraphy

Article Abstract:

A radioactively labelled monoclonal antibody against a protein on the surface of ovarian cancer cells appears to be useful in detecting struma ovarii. Struma ovarii is a benign ovarian tumor. Researchers used a radioactively labelled monoclonal antibody called MAB170H.82, which recognizes the CA 170 tumor protein. The antibody was injected into two women with a history of a pelvic mass. Images were taken with single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). In both cases, the monoclonal antibody indicated the presence and location of the tumor.

Preoperative diagnosis of ovarian carcinoma with a novel monoclonal antibody

Article Abstract:

A monoclonal antibody containing technetium Tc 99m may be useful in diagnosing ovarian cancer, according to a study of 27 women suspected of having the disease. The antibody accurately identified all women with cancer, including some whose cancer was not seen on CT or ultrasound scans. Unfortunately, six women without cancer also tested positive.

Insulin-like growth factor-1 gene splice variants as markers of muscle damage in levator ani muscle after the first vaginal delivery

Article Abstract:

A study is conducted on the expression of insulin-like growth factor-1 splice variants in the levator ani muscle after the first vaginal delivery. The results show that damaged levator ani muscle results from stretch and overload after the first vaginal delivery.
