With the advent of monoclonal antibodies (MAbs), which precluded the need for purifying the antibodies by laborious purification steps, there was a surge of interest and efforts to develop these reagents for both imaging and therapy applications (1). Today, many thousands of patients have received different forms and doses of MAbs for various purposes, and four MAb-based products have been licensed for manufacture and sale in the U.S. (2,3). This article describes the most recent MAb product to be approved in the U.S. for colorectal cancer imaging, including discussions of using this agent and its therapeutic counterpart in several cancer types.
