better than an excisional biopsy? When dealing with small tumors whether benign or malignant, instead of taking "a piece" or a punch biopsy and sending it to the lab, a surgeon attempts a procedure both curative and diagnostic... by removing the lesion with an adequate cuff of normal tissue around it so that when sent to the pathologist all the problem is in the specimen container...solved--cured. Knowing what we do about Bavi-, its selling points as a diagnostic tool are safety, specificity, and its chemo-attractant properties of calling immune-mediating cells to tumor when needed. It is a "double-armed" MAB too, with the capability of carrying contrast agents (and/or tumorcidal) agents on the arm not used for docking. Mind-boggling IMhO.
