co3aii, the company's Lymphoseek is a system for mapping lymph node metastases using tecnetium-99, a short-lived gamma ray-emitting nuclear isomer of technetium used in nuclear medicine for many diagnostic tests. The system may be used during surgery to help surgeons determine extent of resection required. The company is now going after mapping of all solid tumors using various MABs which were not specified. I am not sure how much of a market there is for the product when the mapping via full-body scans may be done preoperatively with the same accuracy. However, neither is being done comprehensively at this point. I imagine that Bavi or another one of PPHMs MABs could be used for the process.
