Indium (111In) capromab pendetide (trade nameProstascint) is used to image the extent ofprostate cancer.[1] Capromab is amousemonoclonal antibody which recognizes a protein found on both prostate cancer cells and normal prostate tissue. It is linked topendetide, a derivative ofDTPA.[2] Pendetide acts as achelating agent for theradionuclideindium-111. Following an intravenous injection of Prostascint, imaging is performed usingsingle-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT).[1]
Early trials with yttrium (90Y) capromab pendetide were also conducted.[3]
