RESUMO
A 57 year old female had a tubular gastric adenocarcinoma confirmed by endoscopy and radiologic studies. Echotomography of the abdomen revealed multiple adenopathies. Immunoscintigraphy with 99mTc labeled anti-CEA BW 431/26 monoclonal antibody was performed. Images obtained at 6 and 24 h showed a significant uptake at the primary lesion and at periaortic adenopathies both in conventional gamma-camera and single emission photon tomography. This immuno-scintigraphic technique may be helpful in the management of patients with gastric cancer.

Various methods of regional chemotherapy have been used in patients with non resectable heptic carcinoma. We report our preliminary experience with embolization using adriamycin-urographin-lipiodol in 2 patients with this cancer in whom a considerable reduction of tumoral mass was observed. The pertinent literature is briefly commented.
