Abstract
The invention relates to a method of detecting an Fc receptor-expressing tumor site in an individual by administering to the individual a diagnostically effective amount of detectably-labeled non-specific immunoglobulin or Fc or Fc' fragment thereof, wherein the immunoprotein substantially accumulates at the site when the site bears such a tumor. By using a therapeutically-labeled specific or non-specific immunoglobulin or Fc or Fc' fragment thereof, the tumor may be treated therapeutically.
