Monoclonal antibodies (9)

Title Monoclonal Antibodies
Description A scan for Radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies, which confirm that this patient's cutaneous t-cell lymph cancer involves the lymph nodes and skin. The antibodies collect in the cancerous lymph nodes of the armpits, neck and groin and a strong outline of the patient's body verifies skin involvement. The liver and spleen are darkened, too, because it is normal for these organs to collect the antibodies.
