125 I‐labeled anti‐TAG‐72 antibodies were applied in radioimmunoguided surgery (RIGS) to remove gross and occult tumors. It is challenging to handle 125 I‐labeled materials. PET/CT image‐guided surgery utilizes 18 FDG to monitor the biochemical activity of the tumor and to integrate pre‐ and postoperative imaging for complete tumor removal. PET/CT image‐guided surgery only detects later stage disease. Fluorescence image‐guided surgery using anti‐TAG‐72 antibodies may provide opportunities for intraoperative cancer detection of both gross and occult tumors. J. Surg.
