Preferred Label : Gallium Ga 68 F(ab')2-Trastuzumab;
NCIt synonyms : Gallium Ga 68 F ab 2-Trastuzumab;
NCIt definition : A radioimmunoconjugate consisting of a trastuzumab fragment labeled with the positron-emitting
radioisotope gallium Ga 68 with radioisotopic and antibody activities. Upon administration,
Ga-68-labeled F(ab')2-trastuzumab may bind to HER2-positive tumor cells, allowing
radioimmunolocalization with positron emission tomography (PET). Trastuzumab is a
recombinant humanized monoclonal antibody that selectively binds to the extracellular
domain of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), overexpressed by many adenocarcinomas,
particularly breast adenocarcinomas.;
