Abstract

AIM: To explore a specific diagnostic method for local recurrent rectal cancer.

METHODS: Immunoscintigraphy with ^99mTc-labeled anti-CEA monoclonal antibody (MoAb) CL-58 was performed for patients suspected of having a postoperative local recurrent rectal cancer and the findings were compared with the results of conventional imaging and pathology.

RESULTS: A total of 36 patients with a suspected local recurrent rectal cancer underwent immunoscintigraphy with ^99mTc-conjugated CL58. Local recurrence of rectal cancer was identified in 31 patients and established in 30 during operation, endoscopy and pathological examination. No local recurrence was found in 5 patients without specific accumulation of ^99mTc during the follow-up. Immunoscintigraphy had a positive rate of 86.11%, a specificity of 83.33%, and a sensitivity of 100%.

CONCLUSION: Immunoscintigraphy has a highly specific and predictive value for detecting local recurrent rectal cancer, especially after abdominal perineal resection (APR).
