Abstract
Radioimmunoscintigraphy (RIS) with a monoclonal antibody (SQ 174, Biom ira, Inc, Canada) is introduced as a new diagnostic method for detecti on of squamous cell carcinoma in the head and neck region. RIS could d etect eight of the 10 primary tumors. One patient had histopathologica lly proven nodal disease. This lymph node was seen in RIS. No false po sitive results were seen in RIS, whereas sonography, computed tomograp hy, and magnetic resonance imaging showed several false positive resul ts.
